Leafs should run high slot tips more frequently (esp on PP)

I agree for the most part; there are many ways to take advantage of the space, but I can see what the coaching staff's idea is. I would really like to see McMann out there with one of the puck holders or a defensive centre (Roy/Laughton) who could just airmail it to an open spot and McMann just...

OT play is about holding onto the puck, and those three little guys (and Domi) are much better puckholders than McMann, who is more of a move it and get it sort of player. The lack of Nylander for so many OT games is catching up. Cowan has been too soft with his puck moving all season in...

I can’t remember exactly which interview or article talked about this with a former Sportsnet hockey commentator. This is the Sportsnet formula; they've always specifically hired one deliberate contrarian to be loud. Wrong or right doesn't matter; drama and disagreement that fosters discussion...

Darn!

Uh, can you not just rescind the penalty?

Nylander ripped one of these shorthanded and then again on a powerplay a week later (both against Columbus, lol) and then spent like 3 months trying it far too often on every PP and basically cleared the puck for the PK.

Ding ding ding We can very easily duplicate the Jim Hiller scheme(s) that made referees stop awarding the Leafs Powerplays for a decade. Scheme 1 originally: Play bumps around the upper perimeter and Marner took it downhill on his strong side to feed briskly into three options, bumper...

I think you're both correct! Tavares is great at: - faceoffs - board puck work - finding open linemates - shooting quickly from in tight, cleaning up rebounds - heavy stick and timely lifts Tavares struggles at: - puck handling and moving quickly through open ice (transition play) - playmaking...
