FINALLY, and I mean finally, it’s a Leafs game day. Can I get a hallelujah?
After a two-day hiatus, Toronto will be back in action tonight when they visit the San Jose Sharks.
On Wednesday, Sheldon Keefe announced that Erik Källgren and not the red-hot Ilya Samsonov will start in goal for this one. Agree, or disagree? Unsurprisingly, that sparked a spirited discussion on today’s edition of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kcJrg3Uu6k">Leafs Morning Take</a>. What’s the rationale behind the decision? It&#8217;s weird.

Are the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LeafsForever?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LeafsForever</a> making the right call tonight by starting Erik Källgren vs. the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SJSharks?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#SJSharks</a>?

In addition to attacking the goalie conundrum, Jay and I discussed the new look lines from practice on Wednesday.

New <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LeafsForever?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LeafsForever</a> lines today:

Thoughts?

If this is what Keefe elects to roll with tonight, it means the second line (Robertson-Tavares-Nylander) will be the only trio rolled over from Monday night’s loss in Vegas. If these changes get the offence and team going, then whatever.
Meantime, we were fortunate enough to have Pro Poker Legend &amp; big-time Leafs/Golden Knights fan Daniel Negreanu on today’s show. He’s buddies with Phil Kessel, so naturally, we talked about the NHL’s new ironman. Suffice it is to say, Negreanu’s never been short on opinion, he always brings the heat!

&quot;When they (Leafs) traded Tuukka Rask, that was kind of the last straw for me. I was very upset by that.&quot;
