The players and coaches are saying the same garbage they’ve been spouting for too long now. “We’re ready” and some such.

“All of our players have an additional edge to them, for sure.” -Sheldon Keefe, Opening Night

Meanwhile, Morgan Rielly bristled a bit when asked about #Leafs core staying intact:

"Hockey is the ultimate team sport. It's not about any one small group of players. We've got lots of new guys, we've got a new mentality it feels like for me. It's a great opportunity for us."

Jake Muzzin on Kyle Dubas keeping #Leafs core for another season:

"Could have made a lot of people happy by trading someone and doing something, but he believes in this group. And it's on us to go out and show him that we are who he thinks we are."

But they’re not ready, they’re not prepared and they’re not willing to do the work. This we know because this is what we’ve been exposed to for years. A lot of talk and no walk.

So, I’ll keep this one short because talking about dropping that playoff series, or anything else for that matter, is useless. We’ll really have no idea what this team is made of for months. So, in the meantime, I’ll just watch some games and take it in.

Jack Campbell starts, while Mitch Marner is a game time decision.

Enjoy the game Leafs fans!!

GO LEAFS GO!!
