Leafs are 6-2-1 since the Four Nations break, which is real solid, but man it doesn't look great under the hood

CF%: 44.4 (30th)
xGF%: 41.2% (31st)

Goaltending wobblier than the start at 0.893 5v5, 0.882 all sits (25th/22nd).

PP is hot, SH% is high, and their last four wins have been by one goal

Remember when Auston Matthews did something similar (if not less violent) to this and the league had the hearing announced before the broadcast was even over?
If that's not a suspension for McDavid, we riot. #Canucks

Back to back games now without a call. Accidental high stick that had to be reviewed and a delay of game. No infractions committed by opponent in 120 minutes.

Part of what makes this team so incredibly frustrating is that when they go full disco cocaine mode like they did that period, there are few teams that can touch them. I fucking hate when they play safe chicken shit robot hockey.

I don’t actually have a problem with dump and chase as far as zone entries go, the leafs are good retrievers, I think what’s bugging me is that it seems to be a requirement in their offensive system to put it in a corner or rim it even if they’ve entered with control and that’s the part I don’t like

#leafs are embarrisingly slow.

the lines never make sense.

knies matthews marner works.

patch tavares nylander works

robertson minten domi can maybe score.

holmberg dewar lorentz can forecheck.

ITS NOT THAT HARD.

The Leafs have scored one (1) goal without a Core 4 member attached to it since this thread btw
The Leafs have scored 28 goals in November. 23 of them (82%) have one or more of Tavares, Nylander, or Marner factored in on them. One of the five that wasn't was an empty netter. They are very much still relying on the same skilled players right now, arguably more than usual
I feel what we are witnessing in real time is the creation of a structure so tight that you can plug and play any players into it and still win. We've been living and dying by performance of 4 skilled players for 8 years. That model has been convincingly disproven.

Would be good to call cross checks in the back that knock players off their skates and into the boards. Wonder if the hockey media might loudly complain about the league not protecting its stars
