The Toronto Maple Leafs picked up their first win of the season, beating the New York Islanders thanks to stellar performances from both Easton Cowan and Anthony Stolarz. We discuss Cowan's remarkable improvement from last year, Gavin McKenna having a better night, the top line once again looking dangerous 5-on-5, and why PP1 continues to struggle.

The Toronto Maple Leafs opened the season with a 3-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, and we're back to break it all down. We discuss the positives from the game, including Kirill Marchenko's debut, along with strong showings from William Nylander and Sergei Bobrovsky. We reiterate that this is going to be a work in progress over the first few weeks after all the offseason change, but the power play needs to start clicking in a hurry, and Darren Raddysh needs to settle into his new role on the Leafs' blueline.

Toronto Maple Leafs GM John Chayka continued his offseason wheeling and dealing right up until the eve of the season, trading Matthew Knies, Steven Lorentz and Emil Andrae to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Kirill Marchenko, Miles Wood and Elvis Merzlikins. We give our take on the trade, the end of the Knies era, Marchenko signing a six-year extension, and his fit in the Leafs' top six.
