That was Reaves best game in a Maple Leafs uniform against Winnipeg on Saturday! Grit. Heart. Passion. Presence. Sheriff. A much needed & welcome addition to this Leafs lineup moving forward! #Truculence #LeafsForever

It's time for John Tavares to start leading with more urgency, jam and tenacity starting tonight. It will be contagious and spread like wild fire. #LeafsForever

Furman South #13 🦓 wearing the orange arm bands with an absolutely terrible call last night against Bobby McMann. 5 minute major and a game? Are you kidding me? This is a clean hit. Shoulder on shoulder. Wake up! #LeafsForever

[Omar @TicTacTOmar]

McMann was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for the hit

Hockey Night in Canada & Dennis Hildeby on Saturday, January 6th vs. San Jose has a nice ring to it!!! #LeafsForever

Introducing Felix Potvin 2.0, only bigger at 6'7"‼️

Dennis Hildeby becomes the tallest current goalie in the NHL.

[Donny Dangles @DonnyDangles]

Felix Potvin was just 21 years old when he became a regular in the NHL for the Maple Leafs during the 1992-1993 season.

It's time to call-up Dennis Hildeby from the Marlies.

There is no time like the present.

BTW, Dennis is older than Nick Robertson.

@mikethefanatic Mike, I agree 💯. His takes are outrageous! I don't think Elliotte has ever laced them up! I would challenge him to prove us wrong! Did you see the one intermission a few years back when he wasn't even holding the stick properly? Preposterous! #LeafsForever

If Johnny Upton was dressed last night in Buffalo. #LeafsForever

[Donny Dangles @DonnyDangles]

@WatchMyReview Agreed. Yes, Hildeby is only 22 years old, but why not give him a taste? Who knows, the kid could be the next Felix Potvin right out of the gate! #LeafsForever

[Donny Dangles @DonnyDangles]

Phil is, and always will be, a folk hero around these parts.

He’s a Toronto Maple Leafs legend.

It’s time to bring him back to close out his career.

3x Stanley Cup Champion!

Sounds like some changes could be coming for NHL 3-on-3 overtime (OT). Lots of discussion about reducing puck possession, circling back in your own zone, blah, blah, blah. The solution should be simply to extend 3-on-3 OT to a 10 minute period & dissolve the shootout completely!

@davinci5151 💯 Brad Marchand puts his stick between his legs, twists his stick like a can-opener and then slewfoots him by kicking his right skate. Typical Brad Marchand play. Calculated. Careless. No Respect. Dirty.

[Donny Dangles @DonnyDangles]

What a disgrace! This guy thinks he is bigger than the game of hockey. #4 Wes McCauley. Absolutely terrible officiating! It's time the NHL gave this clown his walking papers. The missed call on Marchand's slewfoot on Liljegren tonight in Boston is an absolute joke! Clown show.

@only_want_facts Brad Marchand puts his stick between his legs, twists his stick like a can-opener and then slewfoots him by kicking his right skate. Typical Brad Marchand play. Calculated. Dirty. Suspension pending. Wake up!
