Right off the top, so happy to see Martina Ortiz-Luis healthy and singing again. It’s not hockey on a Saturday night without her.
Second thing right off the top: John Tavares is a Maple Leaf. Ooh, yes that still feels good to say.
Martin Marincin might be relatively terrible handling the puck in the offensive zone. His failure to keep the puck in at the blueline on his first shift was pretty good indication of that. However, when it comes to that defence thing, he’s not bad. MarMar and Winnipeg’s Blake Wheeler were pinned together in a fierce battle behind the Leafs’ net and Marincin was able to deftly hook the puck away from the Jets captain as he tried get around the big man.
