In the debut game of new Toronto Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe, the Toronto Maple Leafs were loose, relaxed, and so, so much better than they have been.
Good-bye grinding out wins with an allstar team.
Good-bye Mike Babcock, and good riddance.
Say hello to rushing defenseman, lines that make sense, players that are having fun and a style of game designed for the roster the general manager has put in place.
It was the Leafs best game of the year. They won 3-1 and it was the first game of the season where they didn’t were dominant for the full 60 minutes.
