I think the guy looked like he was having fun again , and for a guy like Marner that's probably key. Did you see him play goalie during the final minute? Lol. That was pretty awesome.
The season could be on a razor's edge given the pace that they'll need to keep to secure a playoff spot. But considering a coaching change and new approaches I'm happy if what they need to do this year is to set the foundation so that their good moving forward. Worst case scenario unload all the ufas at the tdl and let's have some looks at some Marlies while refilling the cupboard at the draft.
I dunno, I liked the game last night minus the very leafy short handed goal against. And I see it as a real positive that we got a look at Marner/AM/Nylander, plus I'm liking what I see with both Dermott and Holl.
It might take a bit still for this team to realize what they can be but I think the leafs are set up pretty good for the next few years.
