The Leafs’ team structure sucks - how they are built and, consequently, how they play.
The D and depth is terrible. I can’t recall a team breaking out of their zone as easily as Boston did last night. So clean - so much time and space. No pressure from the Leaf D / toe caps out F. It was crazy.
Meanwhile Toronto are in the mud trying to get out of their zone - bank, chip, etc. and talking heads wondering why they’re dumping and chasing! lol
Not even really the fault of those catching all the blame. Players are who they are. Coach not a magician.
- move marner for a top D
- shed Tavares and use money on 2nd line
(Both above easier said than done)
- get rid of the idiots (reaves, Domi, bertuzzi)
