This week’s five thoughts are going to be less thought out, and that’s on me. It’s been a busy week to say the least. But enough excuses, let’s dive in. The newest line in Toronto has been routing opponents for the last two weeks now. The Marner-Kadri-Marleau line has been offensively dominant, even if they leave the Leafs wanting in the defensive zone. They remind me of the Fiala-Turris-Smith line in their hot early days for the Nashville Predators.
There are a few differences between the two coaches though, the main being that one is barely half of the other.
