Horror-filled finish to road trip puts pressure on Leafs heading home - Toronto Sun
Article content
ANAHEIM – Those boos ringing in the ears of the Maple Leafs have nothing to do with Halloween.

But all the bats in their belfry in this continuous sluggish start could haunt coach Sheldon Keefe and general manager Kyle Dubas as the team limps home on a four-game losing streak.
Article content
It was capped in monstrous fashion Sunday, a 4-3 overtime defeat to the Anaheim Ducks, who‘d not won in seven straight, a match Toronto led all night, 3-1 at one stage with a penalty shot chance to extend it.
Article content
Add that collapse to earlier defeats against lesser lights Arizona, Montreal, and on this trip San Jose and Los Angeles and there is further doubt cast on this new look roster that Dubas constructed and Keefe is trying to tame.
Dubas was requested for interviews after the game by various Toronto media outlets, but declined. After 10 days away, the Leafs will have time off, a Tuesday practice and an improved Philadelphia Flyers club visiting Wednesday.

Outside Scotiabank Arena, expect little support or sympathy for the GM and coach, who needed a good start this month to cleanse memories of another spring playoff defeat.
“We’re used to dealing with noises,” Keefe said with a shrug of the rough reception that awaits.
On his own fate if the losses mount, he added “I just want to focus on what I can do here. I have a job to do with the group and the group has responded in the past.”
But the Leafs appear to be pinning too much on simply repeating what occurred a year ago when they won just two of their first seven, then took off to 115 points. Sunday’s setback dropped them to 4-4-2 and this is a new crew who might – or might not – consolidate.
“I still think (confidence) is very high,” alternate captain Mitch Marner said, while taking the blame for a couple of puck decisions that the Ducks capitalized on. “We started off a lot worse last year and everyone tried to put shambles in our brains. It’s outside noise, it’s big in Toronto. It’s not going to happen with us.”

Trevor Zegras’s second goal of the game beat Erik Kallgren at 2:15 of the extra period after Marner was stopped just short of deking to John Gibson’s doorstep. What would’ve been Anaheim’s go-ahead goal in regulation was waved off for goaltender interference, but the Leafs had plenty of chances to clinch in regulation, as well as Marner and Auston Matthews in OT.
Standards for Toronto have certainly slipped when playing a 1-6-1 team can be labelled ‘must-win’, but the result failed to take heat off Keefe and Dubas.

The Leafs are still having trouble generating goals and integrating new cast members, though two of those, Denis Malgin and Calle Jarnkrok, scored Sunday.
The Leafs just couldn’t let good, sustained effort elapse without some kind of self-inflicted wound. One was committed by Filip Kral, in his second NHL game and looking good until he tried to put a pass through Derek Grant at centre just as the middle period ended.
It required Kallgren to make a breakaway save and Matthews to take a slashing call. Toronto did turn that into its first short-handed strike of the year, a TJ Brodie stretch pass that Alex Kerfoot and Jarnkrok converted.
In the third period, Kerfoot had a breakaway hampered enough to warrant a penalty shot, but found no room on Gibson as he came in too tight and shot wide.

Moments later, Zegras didn’t miss his break on Kallgren. The Leafs went with their No. 2 goalie, who, like Ilya Samsonov in Los Angeles the afternoon before, endured errors by his mates at key junctures.
Anaheim tied it 3-3 when defenceman Dmitry Kulikov poked the puck past John Tavares, circled the net and beat Kallgren on the wraparound.
The Leafs have tallied just nine goals in the past four losses.
“All losses suck,” Keefe said of the manner they frittered away Sunday’s lead. “In the second period, we looked a lot more like we can be. We’ve struggled in our own end, then you have a lot of tired people on the ice who can’t get off and it snowballs. A huge shorthanded goal to start the third, then you give them life back.”

William Nylander and Marner set up Matthews for a quick flick at 4:23, giving him two goals on the trip.
The revamped second line of Kerfoot, Tavares and Jarnkrok thought it had scored soon after, Kerfoot half raising his stick, but the puck skittered wide of an empty net. As Kerfoot looked skyward, Jakob Silfverberg cashed at the other end.
Toronto regained the lead before the period ended, thanks to another ad hoc line, Nick Robertson and Nylander setting up Malgin, who moved across to the right side with Nylander shifted to centre.
“We didn’t get off to a great start last year, it’s not what we’re looking for this year,” Tavares said between the L.A. and Anaheim matches. “Every game we’ve had a chance to win. Have we played to our capabilities yet? I don’t believe so.”

Arsenal, Man United prove Guardiola right with Premier League wins - The Globe and Mail
/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tgam/VEGSNEE3EBJHVKKWYPAQFD5TRM.jpg)
Pep Guardiola says he can sense the coming tide.
The Manchester City manager will be even more convinced of the new threats to his team’s dominance after the latest round of Premier League games.
Manchester United is “finally” on its way back under Erik ten Hag, Guardiola declared Friday. Newcastle is “already there,” while Arsenal, in his opinion, has been the best of the lot.
On a weekend when City briefly moved to the top of the table, Guardiola once again finds himself looking up to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal – which won 5-0 against Nottingham Forest on Sunday to retake first place – and over his shoulder to the rising forces of Newcastle and Man United.
Arsenal provided the latest evidence of its growing belief, responding to last week’s disappointing draw with Southampton to complete a rout of bottom-place Forest.
United demonstrated the character that is developing under ten Hag when surviving an onslaught from West Ham to win 1-0 at Old Trafford, with Marcus Rashford scoring his 100th goal for the club.
“I thought ‘I like it’ what I see from United just now,” Guardiola said on Friday.
United’s victory against West Ham was not as easy on the eye as some other recent performances but it showed another side to ten Hag’s team – a resilience to see out a win when under pressure.
Ten Hag underlined his own ambitions when responding to Guardiola’s comments and United’s continued progress.
“It’s a nice compliment, but I also see still a lot of room for improvement in our game and we have to, if we want to compete for the top four positions, improve,” ten Hag said after the match. “For instance, in the first half, we have to dominate more on the ball.
“When you see second half, definitely, we were I think quite poor in possession.”
It required three outstanding saves from David de Gea to deny West Ham an equalizer it probably deserved.
“You have to make that second goal because then games will be easier,” ten Hag said. “But I think it is also a skill for a team, if necessary, to protect your box, to survive an opponent who come and go for the equalizer.
“There are some positives, but still a lot of negatives in our game and we have to see that and work on that.”
United moved up to fifth after extending its unbeaten run to eight games in all competitions since losing 6-3 to City at the start of the month.
Newcastle sits one place and one point above United after its 4-0 win against Aston Villa on Saturday, while Tottenham is third.
Meanwhile, City’s fiercest rival in recent years, Liverpool, continues to look short of confidence and consistency after losing to Leeds on Saturday.
Arsenal is undoubtedly the surprise package and bounced back impressively after a difficult week raised doubts about its ability to maintain its fine start to the season.
The draw with Southampton was followed by a loss to PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League.
But against a Forest team that shocked Liverpool a week earlier, Arsenal provided a resounding response to lead City by two points.
“We can have a result after the run that we were in,” Arteta said. “Now it is about how we respond, we did it from the beginning in a really convincing way.”
No one will be more convinced of that than Guardiola.

2022 FINA World Cup: Toronto - Day 2 Finals Live Recap - SwimSwam
2022 FINA WORLD CUP – TORONTO
We’re back for the second finals session at the Toronto stop on the 2022 FINA World Cup circuit. It’s another packed session, with 11 medal rounds. Both Summer McIntosh and Katie Ledecky are back in action with doubles, though they won’t go head-to-head.
McIntosh takes on the 400 IM, which she won at both Worlds and Commonwealth Games this summer, the latter in world junior record time. She hacked five seconds off her lifetime best to win 400 free on Night 1, setting world junior and world cup records in the process. Later in the session, she’ll swim the 100 back, where she avoided a swim-off for a lane as Maggie MacNeil scratched to focus on the 50 fly.
Ledecky is set to race the 1500 free, where the big question on everyone’s mind is if Sarah Kohler‘s 15:18.01 world record is on borrowed time. Ledecky finished second to McIntosh in a thrilling 400 free race with a lifetime best 3:52.88, breaking her old American record. On the back end of her double, she has the 200 free. There, she’ll face world record Siobhan Haughey, who won the event in Berlin with a 1:51.36.
One of the most anticipated events on the men’s side is the 200 IM, where Shaine Casas and Matt Sates are separated by only .04 seconds. Casas never trailed on Night 1 on the way to his wins in the 200 back and 100 IM. He holds the edge over Sates after prelims in 1:54.23. For his part, Sates won this event last weekend in Berlin in 1:51.64 and will be eager to keep his lead in the points standings.
Women’s 400 IM – Fastest Heat
- World Record 4:18.94, Mireia Belmonte (ESP) – 2017
World Junior Record: 4:23.33 benchmark- World Cup Record: 4:18.94, Mireia Belmonte (ESP) – 2017
PODIUM:
- Summer McIntosh (CAN) – 4:21.49 WJ
- Sydney Pickrem (CAN) – 4:28.45
- Bailey Andison (CAN) – 4:29.36
The Canadian women picked up right where they left off after a dominant night one, sweeping the podium of the women’s 400 IM. After winning an electric race in the 400 freestyle in world junior and world cup record time, Summer McIntosh once again smashed another world junior record. Her 4:21.49 blows by the benchmark world junior record, as well as the Canadian record of 4:23.68 which was held by Sydney Pickrem.
Hali Flickinger kept it close between her and McIntosh on the fly leg, but McIntosh distanced herself from the American (and the rest of the field) over the backstroke leg. She was actually ahead of world record pace through the backstroke, though Belmonte swam away from her on the breaststroke.
Pickrem used a strong breaststroke leg to power herself into second place. Post-race, she talked about how she knows there’s been some doubts about her breaststroke strength, so it meant a lot to use it effectively in this race. Rounding out the podium for the Canadians was Bailey Andison, who touched in 4:29.36.
Women’s 1500 Free – Fastest Heat
World Record: 15:18.01, Sarah Kohler (GER) – 2019World Junior Record: 15:45.29, Merve Tuncel (TUR) – 2020World Cup Record:
PODIUM:
- Katie Ledecky (USA) – 15:08.24 WR
- Beatriz Dizotti (BRA) – 15:48.82
- Laila Oravsky (CLB-CAN) – 16:16.86
Katie Ledecky obliterated the world record in the women’s 1500 freestyle by almost ten seconds. She blazed to a 15:08.24, taking out Sarah Kohler‘s previous mark of 15:18.01. Ledecky waste no time getting out ahead of the world record; she quickly separated herself from Kohler’s pace and the rest of the field. This is her first world record since 2018, when she set the record in the LCM 1500 freestyle. In addition, her 800 free split of 8:00.58 almost broke the world record in that race as well, and crushes the American record which Leah Smith owned in 8:07.67.
Brazil’s Beatriz Dizotti took second behind Ledecky in 15:48.82, while Canada continued their podium success, with Laile Oravsky getting on the podium in third with 16:16.86.
Men’s 50 Back – Finals
- World Record: 22.22, Florent Manaudou (FRA) – 2014
- World Junior Record: 22.77, Kliment Kolesnikov (RUS) – 2018
- World Cup Record: 22.61, Peter Marshall (USA) – 2009
PODIUM:
- Dylan Carter (TTO) – 22.94
- Kacper Stokowski (POL) – 23.01
- Justin Ress (USA) – 23.07
Dylan Carter kept up his winning ways, earning first in the men’s 50 backstroke. Coming off the turn, he surged ahead of the field, getting his hand on the wall in 22.94, which is a lifetime best and Trinidad and Tobago record. It erases the old mark, which he owned in 23.15 from his win last week in Berlin.
Carter was the only man under 23 seconds, as second place Kacper Stokowski earned second in 23.01. American Justin Ress, the world champion in the long course edition of this race, earned third in 23.07.
Women’s 200 Free – Finals
- World Record: 1:50.31, Siobhan Haughey (HKG) – 2021
- World Junior Record: 1:52.50, Taylor Ruck (CAN) – 2016
- World Cup Record: 1:50.43, Sarah Sjostrom (SWE) – 2017
PODIUM:
- Siobhan Haughey (HKG) – 1:51.13
- Katie Ledecky (USA) – 1:52.31
- Madi Wilson (AUS) – 1:53.49
Siobhan Haughey took a shot at her own world record in the women’s 200 freestyle. At the 100-meter mark, she was out under world record pace, though she fell off and eventually touched in 1:51.13. However, it’s still a positive sign for Haughey as it’s not only faster than the 1:51.36 she went to win the race in Berlin, it’s also a nice rebound swim after she added two seconds from last weekend last night in the 400 freestyle.
After barely having time to do a couple warmdown laps post-1500 freestyle world record, Ledecky put together a solid race here, earning second in 1:52.31. She was running third behind Madi Wilson at the beginning of the race, but made a final push at the end to separate herself from Wilson. The Australian rounded out the podium in 1:53.49.
Men’s 200 IM – Finals
- World Record: 1:49.63, Ryan Lochte (USA) – 2012
- World Junior Record: 1:51.45, Matt Sates (RSA) – 2021
World Cup Record: 1:50.66, Daiya Seto (JPN) – 2021
PODIUM:
- Shaine Casas (USA) – 1:50.37 WC
- Finlay Knox (CAN) – 1:52.75
- Trenton Julian (USA) – 1:52.81
Shaine Casas has been dominant so far in Toronto and he continued that streak in the men’s 200 IM. He earned the win here with a 1:50.37, a world cup record and more than two and a half seconds ahead of the rest of the field. Over his three individual events at this meet, Casas has yet to trail at any point in any race.
Behind him, there was a thrilling race for second and third, as Finlay Knox, Trenton Julian, and Matt Sates were all bunched together as they came down the home stretch in the freestyle leg. Knox, who turned at the 150 mark in fourth, came home in 26.66, the fastest freestyle split in the field, to take second in 1:52.75. Knox was just off his Canadian record of 1:52.32. Just .06 seconds behind him, Julian took third in 1:52.81.
Sates, who won this race in Berlin, fell to off the podium and finished fourth in 1:52.89.
Women’s 100 Back – Finals
- World Record: 54.89, Minna Atherton (AUS) – 2019
- World Junior Record: 55.99 Benchmark
- World Cup Record: 55.23, Shiho Sakai (JPN) – 2009
PODIUM:
- Beata Nelson (USA) – 55.75
- Kylie Masse (CAN) – 56.16
- Ingrid Wilm (CAN) – 56.21
It was an exact repeat of the women’s 100 back podium in Berlin, as Beata Nelson, Kylie Masse, and Ingrid Wilm all took the same spots on the podium tonight in Toronto. Nelson took the win for the second time in this event, faster than she was last weekend and getting under 56 seconds. Her time of 55.75 is one-hundredth off her lifetime best 55.74, which she set in December 2021.
After earning second and third on night 1 in the 50 backstroke, Masse and Wilm earned those positions here in the 100. Masse clocked 56.16, with Wilm just behind in 56.21.
Men’s 50 Breast – Finals
- World Record: 24.95, Emre Sakci (TUR) – 2021
- World Junior Record: 25.85, Simone Cerasuolo (ITA) – 2017
- World Cup Record: 25.25, Cameron van der Burgh (RSA) – 2009
PODIUM:
- Nic Fink (USA) – 25.78
- Caspar Corbeau (NED) – 26.15
- Joao Gomes Jr. (BRA) – 26.34
Once again, it was Nic Fink taking the win in the men’s 50 breaststroke. He’s now won all five breaststroke events that have been offered at the 2022 World Cup circuit, with the 200 breast on tap for tomorrow. Another positive for Fink was that he was faster here in Toronto than he was in Berlin, 25.78 to 25.86.
After taking second in the 100 breast last night, Caspar Corbeau, who swims collegiately at the University of Texas, earned second once again here in the 50. He touched in 26.15, which is a lifetime best for him as it betters the mark of 26.55 he set in prelims. Brazil got on the podium for the second time tonight as 36-year-old Joao Gomes Jr. earned third in 26.34.
Women’s 50 Fly – Finals
- World Record: 24.38, Therese Alshammar (SWE) – 2009
- World Junior Record: 24.55, Claire Curzan (USA) – 2021
- World Cup Record: 24.38 Therese Alshammar (SWE) – 2009
PODIUM:
- Maggie MacNeil (CAN) – 24.75
- Beryl Gastaldello (FRA) – 25.26
- Soma Ai (JPN) – 25.57
Maggie MacNeil scratched the 100 backstroke to focus on the 50 fly and it paid off for her in a big way. She earned the win in 24.75, which is a new Canadian record and a massive lifetime best for her–her first time under 25 seconds. She owned the previous record as well, which stood at 25.13 from last year’s World Cup.
Beryl Gastaldello won this event in Berlin in 25.16, and she earned second in Toronto in a time just .10 seconds slower. Post-race, Gastaldello admitted that she messed up her turn, so she was looking forward to fixing that in her next race. Soma Ai earned third, .31 seconds behind Gastaldello in 25.57.
Men’s 100 Free – Finals
- World Record: 44.84, Kyle Chalmers (AUS) – 2021

The world record holder in this event Kyle Chalmers led wire-to-wire in the men’s 100 free, earning the win in the men’s 100 free dominantly in 45.52. Last night, he was third in the 50 free behind Carter and Brooks Curry, who were both in this race as well.
Curry, who like MacNeil flew up to Toronto after finishing a dual meet with LSU, earned third in 46.32. Sandwiched between him and Chalmers was the Italian Thomas Ceccon, who is the LCM 100 backstroke world record holder but is an important part of Italy’s men’s 4×100 free relay, which won silver at the Tokyo Olympics.

- Lilly King (USA) – 1:03.23
- Anna Elendt (GER) – 1:04.07
This was a special race, as it featured the last three Olympic champions in the LCM 100 breast: Lydia Jacoby (Tokyo champion), Lilly King (Rio champion), and Ruta Meilutyte (London champion). Meilutyte has been on fire since coming out of retirement, and she’s rolled the success she had in LCM this summer over to SCM here at the World Cup. After winning the 50 and 100 breast in Berlin, she’s now captured the 100 breast in Toronto. She touched in 1:02.95, faster than the 1:03.07 she went last weekend.
Lilly King picked up the win in the 200 breaststroke on night 1: she and Meilutyte were locked in a tight battle for the whole race, but Meilutyte got the better of King, 1:02.95 to King’s 1:03.23. Germany’s Anna Elendt grabbed bronze in 1:04.07, resetting the German record of 1:04.54 that she set in prelims.

- Chad Le Clos (RSA) – 1:49.78
- Wang Kuan-Hung (TPE) – 1:51.15
Trenton Julian took the win in the 200 fly on the back-end of a tough 200 IM/200 fly double. He went out hard, as he usually does, and was able to hold off Chad Le Clos on the closing meters to get his hands on the wall first. Le Clos had a monster final underwater and came charging home, but he ultimately ran out of room and finished second in 1:49.78, just off the 1:49.62 he went to win the race in Berlin.
Wang Kuan-Hung earned third in 1:51.15, more than a second back of the top two but well ahead of fourth place, Mexico’s Jose Martinez. Martinez, who owns the Mexican record in 1:51.39, posted a 1:53.50.

Shapovalov defeats Coric in straight sets to move on to Vienna Open final - TSN
The Canadian Press
VIENNA — Canada's Denis Shapovalov will be moving on to the Vienna Open final after topping Borna Coric 7-6 (4), 6-0 on Saturday.
The Richmond Hill, Ont., native won a blistering 95 per cent of his first-serve points in addition to hitting seven aces.
Shapovalov also broke on three of his four opportunities.
"Definitely another great match for me," Shapovalov said. "Obviously Borna’s played some long difficult matches, so I think the first set was very important.
"I was really happy, I played a great tiebreak. I thought it was very close from both of us. Just one point I think made the difference. … Getting the break early on in the second set kind of just gave me a bit more energy and, you know, kind of made him lose, I think, a little bit of belief, but a great match for me."
Shapovalov sent the first set to a tiebreak after matching Coric with every game he won. The Canadian won the first three points in the final set before Coric came back to win four of the next seven. The 23-year-old Shapovalov won the set with an ace.
In a dominant second set, Shapovalov broke Coric's serve in the second game before saving a break point chance from Coric in the third. Shapovalov broke again in the fourth game as he held the Croatian scoreless en route to victory.
Shapovalov is now 2-2 in career matchups against Coric, having now won two straight over him.
World No. 4 Daniil Medvedev will be Shapovalov's next opponent Sunday as he looks to win his second career title and first this year. Medvedev is 3-2 in his career against Shapovalov.
"It's a good opportunity for me playing against a guy like Daniil," Shapovalov said. "(I) beat him a couple times before — he's a great player though.
"I mean, he's playing tremendously. The last couple times he got me and he's very tricky. He's having a great week. He's been playing well the whole time here, so it's going to be a difficult battle, but looking forward to it."

Felix Auger-Aliassime Flies Past Alcaraz In Basel - ATP Tour
The in-form Felix Auger-Aliassime passed his biggest test yet on Saturday at the Swiss Indoors Basel, where the Canadian delivered a stunning all-around performance to defeat World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 6-2.
Auger-Aliassime kept Alcaraz constantly under pressure with some blistering hitting from the baseline throughout the pair's semi-final clash, while also demonstrating some of the huge serving that has defined his European indoor hard-court season so far.
“So far it has been very close to perfect [in Basel]”, said Auger-Aliassime, who has dropped just one set this week, in his on-court interview. "I’ve been serving amazing, not getting broken once yet. There’s still one match to go, but it’s been a fantastic week, [I have] played some great tennis, and again today against the best player in the world. It’s an amazing win, so I’m really happy with my level and hopefully I can go all the way.”
The win bolsters Auger-Aliassime’s seventh-place position in the Pepperstone ATP Live Race To Turin. The Canadian (3,435 points) is now just five points behind sixth-placed Andrey Rublev as he bids to qualify for November’s Nitto ATP Finals for the first time. The 22-year-old can leapfrog Rublev on Sunday by defeating Holger Rune, a 7-6(1), 7-6(6) semi-final winner against Roberto Bautista Agut, to claim the title in Basel.
After a cagey start to the match from both players, Auger-Aliassime took control in the eighth game, when he broke Alcaraz to love. The Canadian stayed solid to polish off the first set before two further breaks in the second sealed the win and improved Auger-Aliassime’s ATP Head2Head record against the Spaniard to 3-0.
“I played great again,” said Auger-Aliassime. “Showing up and taking care of my serve, game after game. I think it was kind of a nervous start for both of us, but I think I was able to put a lot of pressure on [with my] second-serve return, and I think he felt that.
“From that point I was able to get a lot of opportunities. [In the second set] I got a few free points, and was able to really use them well. In [World] No. 1 fashion, he came back with some great points, had a break point [in the final game] to come back a little bit. It was 0/30 on my serve, so those are good games to win.”
Auger-Aliassime's 82-minute triumph, in which he struck 23 winners to Alcaraz's eight, extended his winning streak to 12 matches. That run includes titles in Florence and Antwerp, and he will next bid for a third consecutive ATP Tour crown in Sunday’s championship match against Bautista Agut or Rune.
“It’s amazing," said Auger-Aliassime later. "I never expected it, when I was in Florence three weeks ago, or after the US Open. I’m just really happy that all my work is coming together.
“I’ve always believed that I can play this way, that I can be consistent in that way, but one thing is to believe and the other is to actually do it. It’s nice to feel that way, it’s nice to come out on the court and win that many matches in a row… So hopefully this is just the beginning of seeing me play this way.”

Maple Leafs lose to Sharks as troubling trends persist: ‘We gotta execute’ - The Athletic
SAN JOSE — A day before the Leafs faced the Sharks, practice was nearly done when a frustrated Sheldon Keefe put a stop to things.
“Everybody in here please,” he said.
The Leafs coach was not happy with what he was seeing. The execution wasn’t there. He voiced his displeasure, urgently. Then, he ran the drill back again. This time it was executed properly. And that was it. Practice was over.

A day later, his team failed to execute against a Sharks team that’s sitting near the league basement. This, after losses already this season to the Arizona Coyotes and Montreal Canadiens, two teams that finished at the bottom of last season’s standings.
The Leafs have yet to really look like the Leafs this season. Nothing like the team that stacked up a franchise-record 115 points last season. Instead, they’ve looked lost, disjointed, uninspired. Not much is going right at the moment.
“Obviously we want to build traction,” Auston Matthews said after the loss to the Sharks, which came three nights after a dispiriting loss in Vegas. “I just don’t think we’ve really put together a full 60-minute game. I think that consistency within the game and momentum shifts and stuff are kinda hurting us right now.”
The Leafs fell behind 26 seconds into the game in San Jose, and then slipped into a 3-1 hole.
“I think there was just too many ups and downs, not a whole lot of consistency throughout the game,” Matthews went on. “There was times we did some good things obviously, and had some good possession and some good plays offensively. There was also times where we were just a little bit stagnant and couldn’t really get much going.”
(D. Ross Cameron-USA TODAY Sports)
Keefe’s lineup shakeup had only a so-so effect.
Alex Kerfoot’s addition to the top line helped spur two goals — one from David Kampf, the team’s unlikely five-on-five goal leader, another from Mitch Marner. It was hardly a dominant outing, though.
As Matthews noted, the Leafs struggled to turn one good shift into another.
More concerning was how things went for the one line that remained intact: the trio of John Tavares, William Nylander and Nick Robertson.
They were pinned in their own end for most of the night, to the point that Keefe had to remove both Nylander and Robertson from the line in the third period and replace them — with Kerfoot and Calle Jarnkrok — for defensive zone draws.

The Tavares line was having to shoulder an unusual share of defensive zone faceoffs because of the lineup restructuring. The coaching staff wasn’t going to send the tough stuff to the line that featured Michael Bunting and Denis Malgin. And they most certainly aimed to get the Matthews’ group on offence as often as possible.
So Tavares and company were tasked with more of that load (38 percent offensive zone faceoff percentage). Shot attempts were 13-4 for San Jose when Tavares, Nylander, and Robertson were on the ice.
Nylander, notably, was held without a shot or attempt. Tavares is still looking for his first five-on-five goal of the season.
“I thought that San Jose’s best players gave us a real hard time today,” Keefe said. “Every time those guys got on the ice they tilted the ice.”
That sounds, in a roundabout way, not unlike the message Keefe delivered after the loss to the Coyotes. San Jose’s best players — Logan Couture, Erik Karlsson, Timo Meier — were all playing against the Leafs’ best players — and winning those minutes.
Keefe may have to go back to the drawing board, whether that’s dropping Michael Bunting back onto the top line or finding a different look for the Tavares group. It’s probably time to give Nicolas Aube-Kubel another look at the bottom of the lineup.
The only line that should definitely stick for now is the one that reunited Kampf with Pierre Engvall. That unit, with Zach Aston-Reese filling things out, was the most successful group in San Jose. Despite landing only one offensive zone faceoff, the line finished with an expected goals mark approaching 90 percent.
For the second game in a row, the Leafs gave up too much good stuff, too many high-quality opportunities (though two of the four San Jose goals came on one power play).
“We gotta figure out these turnovers,” Marner said. “We’re giving a lot of teams a lot of odd-man rushes, a lot of chances our way. We’re not helping our D a lot, especially forwards. We’re not coming back to pucks. They were way hungrier on the forecheck. That’s the thing that our team has been so good at the last couple years, getting pucks back and creating offence off that. The forward group, we need to get way hungrier on the puck. We need to create way more chances up ice and help our D out a little more.”

“We didn’t play our game the first two periods,” added an unusually outspoken Kampf. “I feel like in the third we came back a little bit and started playing a little bit harder. It wasn’t good all game.”
Keefe has not been happy with the way the puck is moving from the D to the forwards. In other words, how the team is initiating its attack. It’s what, in his estimation, has stalled the offence and led to his team spending more time playing defence.
The Leafs are sitting about 50 percent expected goals for the season. Not great. Last season that number was 56 percent.
“We gotta execute,” Keefe said. “You watch the game, you watch how many times we don’t execute on passes. We’ve got a lot of really good players, a lot of skill on our team, and we’re just not connecting on passes, like, tape-to-tape passes that we’re just either making the wrong decision and passing to the wrong guy, or we’re holding on too long and it gets disrupted. That’s a big problem for us.
“Our inability to move the puck up the ice efficiently is slowing down all of our game on offence and it’s really hurting our game defensively as well because we’re just getting stressed. The second period we couldn’t get our defence off the ice because we just couldn’t move the puck up.”
Though Marner pinned those problems on the forwards, Keefe said, “It starts with the D. Their first touch (with the puck) has to be better.”
The defence looks overexposed right now, with Jake Muzzin and Timothy Liljegren both absent with injuries. That’s two of the usual top six (or seven) out of the mix, including the second-best defender (T.J. Brodie is tops at this point) on the team.
The Leafs have no choice but to continue to lean on a struggling Justin Holl until Liljegren returns next month. They’ll have to find an external replacement for Muzzin if he doesn’t return this season.
(D. Ross Cameron-USA TODAY Sports)
Keefe didn’t think changing up the pairs would fix the issues the Leafs were having, but it’s something worth contemplating even if the options aren’t exactly obvious.
First, would be splitting up Morgan Rielly and Brodie in the name of balance.
Option 1: Hand Brodie, the most reliable defender the Leafs have, over to Holl.
But then who plays with Rielly? Rasmus Sandin on his off side?
Option 2: Reunite Brodie and Mark Giordano.
Again though, who plays with Rielly?
Option 3: Keep Rielly and Brodie together, but swap Sandin for Giordano.
Is there enough mobility and puck-moving ability in a Giordano-Holl combo with Holl struggling like he is at the moment? Can the Leafs play Sandin and Mete together?
Option 4: Split up Rielly and Brodie, but go extreme in sliding Rielly over to the right side until Liljegren is ready to play. Rielly, remember, spent time on the right during training camp as well as the offseason.
Giordano – Rielly
Brodie – Holl
Sandin – Mete
Like we said, not a lot of great options there.
It’s evident the Leafs feel there’s only so much they can throw at Giordano. He was supposed to play more in Muzzin’s absence. He’s ended up playing less. That might need to change.
Another issue is that the Leafs’ power play has yet to get going, though Matthews’ one-time blast was encouraging.
About the most positive development of the early season has been the play of Ilya Samsonov. There aren’t a lot of players off to roaring starts. Keefe has felt the need to press hard from Day 1.
It’s been a checkered start, certainly.
It is still October, still 74 games to go, still early. And the Leafs started in similar fashion last season before turning things around.
“It’s not an excuse, right?” Kampf said. “The season started already, so we have to be ready from the start of the season.”

Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen announce divorce after 13 years - CBC Sports
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen have finalized their divorce, they announced Friday, ending the 13-year marriage between two superstars who respectively reached the pinnacles of fashion and football.
Divorce documents were filed Friday in Glades County, Florida, a rural location near Lake Okeechobee, according to the court docket. It cites only that the marriage was "irretrievably broken" with no other details. Other documents are sealed and confidential.
Brady and Bundchen posted statements on Instagram late Friday morning, each saying they had "amicably" reached the decision.
"The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always," Bundchen wrote.
Both said their priorities lay with their children and asked for privacy.
"We arrived at this decision to end our marriage after much consideration," Brady wrote. "Doing so is, of course, painful and difficult, like it is for many people who go through the same thing every day around the world."
The divorce lands in the midst of Brady's 23rd N-F-L season, and amid his first three-game losing streak in 20 years, just months after the seven-time Super Bowl champion put an end to his short-lived retirement.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback — who had long stated a desire to spend more time with Bundchen and his three children — announced his departure from the game in February, only to change his mind 40 days later.
"What more do you have to prove?" Bundchen told her husband on the sidelines after his last, record-shattering Super Bowl victory, as Brady himself recounted shortly after the win.
Despite Brady initially saying his retirement was a chance to focus his "time and energy on other things that require my attention," part of his motivation to come back was what he has referred to as "unfinished business" with the Buccaneers. The team failed to reach the Super Bowl last season in their effort to repeat as champions.
Bundchen told "CBS This Morning" in 2017 that she was concerned about her husband after he played through a concussion the previous year. Brady's then-team, the New England Patriots, and agent declined to respond to her comments at the time, and an NFL spokesperson said there were no records he had suffered a head injury. Brady later said he preferred to keep his medical history private.
"I mean, we don't talk about it," Bundchen said during the interview. "But he does have concussions. I don't really think it's a healthy thing for anybody to go through."
'This is a very violent sport'
She more recently contended that the characterization in reports that she was desperate for her husband to retire carried sexist overtones.
"Obviously, I have my concerns. This is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present," the supermodel told Elle magazine in September. "I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too."
Bundchen and Brady were introduced by a mutual friend and married — twice — a little over two years later. They said their first "I dos" in early 2009 at a Catholic church in Santa Monica, California, before family and close friends, followed by an equally small second wedding at her house in Costa Rica nearly two months later.
Their son Benjamin was born later that year, followed by a daughter, Vivian, in 2012. Brady also has a 15-year-old son, Jack Moynahan, from a previous relationship with actor Bridget Moynahan.
Bundchen, who was discovered by a modelling scout at age 13 in Brazil, secured her place as one of the industry's highest-paid models by the 2000s and became a tabloid staple, fuelled by a relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio. In addition to walking the runways of top designers, appearing in campaigns for high street and high fashion brands alike, she signed on as a Victoria's Secret Angel and took on small film roles — including in "The Devil Wears Prada."
She took a step back from modelling in 2015, giving up runway work and limiting herself to a few advertising campaigns and magazine covers a year. She made one big exception, wearing a glistening gown and a huge smile in 2016 as she crossed a 400-foot (120-meter) runway at the Rio Olympics while fellow Brazilian Daniel Jobim performed "The Girl from Ipanema."
Since paring back her modelling commitments, she has dedicated herself to environmental activism, particularly with regard to the Amazon rainforest's conservation, and business ventures like eco-friendly skin care and a lingerie line. She has also been vocal about mental health, disclosing debilitating panic attacks that she said had her contemplate suicide and criticizing unrealistic beauty standards.
'I've done my part'
Above all, Bundchen told Elle, her top priority was her family.
"I've done my part, which is [to] be there for [Tom]. I moved to Boston, and I focused on creating a cocoon and a loving environment for my children to grow up in and to be there supporting him and his dreams," she said. "Seeing my children succeed and become the beautiful little humans that they are, seeing him succeed, and being fulfilled in his career, it makes me happy. At this point in my life, I feel like I've done a good job on that."
After years in Boston — where Brady played for the Patriots — and then moving again to Tampa with him in 2020, she said she had her own plans: "I have a huge list of things that I have to do, that I want to do. At 42, I feel more connected with my purpose."
Brady turned 45 in August, when he left the Buccaneers for 11 days for unspecified personal reasons. The team supported the leave, calling it a pre-planned break agreed to before the start of training camp in July.
A three-time NFL MVP and the league's all-time leader in yards passing and touchdowns, Brady signed a 10-year contract reportedly worth $375 million US to become the lead football analyst for Fox Sports once he hangs up his cleats. When that will be is yet uncertain — while Brady had expressed an interest in extending his playing career beyond his mid-40s if he remained healthy, his now ex-wife had a different idea back in 2017.
"That kind of aggression all the time, that cannot be healthy for you," she said during the CBS interview. "I'm planning on him being healthy and do a lot of fun things when we're like 100, I hope."
