Anthony Stolarz made a save without a mask on Thursday night. Adin Hill did the same thing two nights earlier, and was injured on the play. Should the NHL outlaw this “very dangerous play?” @joshuakloke & I talked to some goalies, and Bill Daly ⤵️ https://t.co/Jqb6tA0vcz

On Thursday night, Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz made a big maskless save — and an interesting point about goalie safety.

Wait, play can continue after a goalie loses mask? NHL goalies agree: this rule needs to change immediately. At @TheAthleticNHL

Bayern Munich could have Alphonso Davies back from his ACL injury in December. Good news for them, good news for the Canadian NT. He’s ahead of schedule. @TheAthleticFC

Davies had initially not been expected to play again this year but Kompany has now suggested a December return is possible.

HARRISON, New Jersey – Scoreless draws are starting to matter more than you’d think for Canada. Over a year ago, in Jesse Marsch’s second game as head coach of Canada, he pushed his team to a...

Jesse Marsch says as of late, Richie Laryea has “probably been our best player overall.” And interestingly, adds “that’s a performance he can do at right back.” #CANMNT

Now I know what it's like to hear 20,000-plus Colombian fans hold their breath. #CANMNT

Canada should feel positive about that first half against one of the world's better teams. They pressed effectively and barely let Colombia have anything dangerous close to goal. Get lucky with a set piece and be more direct in possession and #CANMNT could be onto something.

And to the credit of Marsch and Canada's coaching staff: Sigur and de Fougerolles have been excellent in their own half tonight. #CANMNT
As expected, Jesse Marsch rolls out arguably the best XI he has at his disposal right now vs Colombia. Most notable? Canada's head coach goes right back to Niko Sigur and Luc de Fougerolles after a mistake against Australia. Plenty of belief in their potential among #CANMNT

Canada's October window is one of the final chances for players to earn World Cup roster spots. And they could welcome a new dual national into the mix, changing the outlook with less than eight months to go. What I'm hearing on #CANMNT's roster battles: https://t.co/zpruIBskhd

“He wasn’t thinking about hockey like a kid anymore.” Easton Cowan is not the wide-eyed dynamo he was a year ago. The Maple Leafs rookie overhauled his game and forced his way onto the top line for his NHL debut. Inside a rookie's journey: https://t.co/dQ4YdVeyyL

Many questioned if he should have been a first-round pick at all. Now, Easton Cowan is in the NHL. He's 'never felt this ready.'
