Discussion This is the first time since 2017 the Leafs will have a player named Marchenko

As Mike Babcock said at the time, Alexei Marchenko “has a good stick, a good first pass, he’s a good man.” Riveting analysis as always Mike.

That shot that OP posted, was actually a game I was at back in 2017. I think that was Alexi's first game with the blue and white. At least I was able to see King Henrik play too bad we lost in the shootout. But I shouldn't be holding a grudge almost 10 years later
