Not only did Jake Muzzin make his impact felt on the MapleLeafs' blueline, he had become a trusted voice in the dressing room, too. Now they have to play on without him. It's not going to be easy. (ReporterChris)

Muzzin makes the greatest defensive impact among those players, and it was likely no coincidence that when assistant coach Dave Hakstol gathered the group for a chat after Wednesday’s practice he hammered home the need to focus on something Muzzin does best: Identifying the proper moments during defensive zone coverage where there’s an opportunity to aggressively break up the cycle.

“It was a big feel-good period for us going forward,” said Dermott. “It was a tough battle there, they were coming at us with a lot of heat and everyone kind of understood what we had to do. We beared down and got it done.”

MapleLeafs reporterchris I was never a JakeMuzzin fan. He underperformed as a Leaf. Too many turnovers. Speaking out about the Leafs sub par efforts was a step up however signing him for 4 more years at $4.5 million was a bad idea.💸I see him as a rich man’s💰(KyleDubas) DionPhaneuf.🤷🏻‍♂️ Toronto
