What On Earth Happened Here With Jim Hiller And Gavin McKenna? faceoffcircle.ca/2026/10/16/w... #Leafs #NHL

New on @hockey.bsky.social: I'm completely baffled by Gavin McKenna's benching on Thursday night, and Jim Hiller's confusing explanation for why Toronto's rookie phenom stopped playing midway through their eventual OT loss: faceoffcircle.ca/2026/10/16/w... #Leafs

🚨 #TorontoSports FINALS; 10/15/2026🚨

🏒Toronto Maple Leafs (3-3-2) 4️⃣:5️⃣ BUF (F/OT)

It seems Hiller's rationale for McKenna's ice time is that there were penalties in the 2nd and he didn't end up giving him a shift early on in the 3rd and then it snowballed to the point where it had been too long. I'm glad it's not message sending, but that's awful coaching still.

#Leafs #PassionNeverSleeps

Maple Leafs head coach Jim Hiller on Gavin McKenna's mid-game benching:

"that was my decision. We went for a stretch, he sat through the penalties. Now that I've say him for so long, I probably should've got him out in the third."

🚨 FINAL 🚨

Toronto Maple Leafs 4️⃣ - 5️⃣ Buffalo Sabres

And Owen Power scores in OT! Great win for Buffalo 5-4. #Sabres #Leafs #HNOM

We should be talking about Marchenko's amazing game, but now the story is McKenna's benching for some unknown reason and sitting on the lead. Hiller is going to lose any goodwill he has with this fan base if he keeps this up. Stupid...

#leafs coach blew that one for the team, completely killed the team going to three lines

#leafs always come up short 😭 #nhl

Well that went as good as it was going to.. which is to say, it went shit.
#leafs

What a #Leafs disaster. Up 4-2 after 40 minutes, and then just failed to show up in the third period and OT. The #Sabres score three straight and win 5-4. Yikes!!

Well, they stink, but at least they're fun. #leafs

Suck it Leafs. You deserve that loss and so much more. Eat one. #Leafs

The #Sabres were down 4-2 in the 3rd period in Toronto. But they’ve taken the #Leafs to OT!

Buffalo’s Jack Quinn earned the Gordie Howe Hat Trick with a goal, assist, and a fight. Toronto’s Marchenko scored an actual hat trick. Quite a game!

#HNOM

Pity point! Heavy on the pity! #Leafs

Ok coach, now that you’ve blown the lead maybe put Gavin McKenna back out there. You’re overthinking it if you’re worried he’s “cold”. He’s fresh! #Leafs

The #Leafs not only can't make or complete a pass, but they're not even trying. 2 minutes left in the third. 4-4.
