"At the very least, Anthony Stolarz sure is. What a performance in Edmonton. The 32-year-old made 34 stops as Toronto smothered the Oilers 5-2 for its third straight victory. That's where the conversation started on the Wednesday edition of Leafs Morning Take. After their dreadful five game homestand from hell, the Leafs went 3-1-0 on their four game road trip ahead of the Olympic break. That's what this team does, right? It's been such a rollercoaster season."
"Unequivocally, the Jay Rosehill turning point of the game happened in the third period when the Leafs got essentially a full two minutes of 5-on-3 time. Full credit to them, too, they made it count. John Tavares connected on a back door tap in and Matias Maccelli hammered home a Max Domi cross ice pass. That was the difference. Just for good measure, Bobby McMann, the pride of Wainwright Alberta, iced it with an empty netter for the second straight game."
"Speaking of which, The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta dropped by to dish on the looming trade freeze and also the trade deadline. He hit on Toronto's game plan, where they go from here, and who could be on the most. Most specifically, he dished on Bobby McMann and Morgan Rielly. On top of that, Pagnotta broke down what he's heard when it comes to Brad Treliving's future as GM. Ditto for Craig Berube as head coach."
Anthony Stolarz made 34 saves as Toronto defeated Edmonton 5-2, securing a third straight victory. The Leafs' power play produced a pivotal two-minute 5-on-3 in the third period, leading to a John Tavares back-door tap-in and a Matias Maccelli finish off a Max Domi cross-ice pass. Bobby McMann added an empty-net goal for a second straight game. Toronto finished the pre-Olympic road trip 3-1-0 after a disastrous five-game homestand. Jay Rosehill characterized the Brandon Carlo/Darnell Nurse exchange as a response rather than a major incident. David Pagnotta outlined trade-freeze and deadline implications, mentioning McMann, Morgan Rielly, Brad Treliving and Craig Berube.
