I noticed this from my lazy-boy as well. (Lol) And after period one although he had just scored, it seemed like he was on the ice and off it heading down the tunnel before anyone else was aware the period was even over. This with him being seated at the far end of the bench.Problem is he is trying to do too much. He was displeased last night the whole game. No smile even when he scored...even in the pregame skate. Something was bothering him. His goal was pretty nice.
I never thought the Bs would get this far (at the start of the season).
They have some very good 3d and 4th line guys who have overachieved all season. Only have 2 real (IMO) top line forward players and they have too much on their backs. I also believe Brad is playing with an injury. He is still very intense and hasn't lost his edge.
I thought the D looked off last night and not just in the third (with Peeke hurt).
Linus made some amazing saves.
Leafs made adjustments and now the Bs must.
I think he's starting to get a little frustrated. Although Zacha is a very good complimentary player he's not a top line guy and Heinen so far these playoffs has been pretty brutal and he's Pasta other line-mate and is far from an elite forward. It has to be frustrating. He's human and he's one of the best players in the world, highly elite and he's imo has been the most aggressive player on that line as well. Pressuring hard on the forecheck and playing the body. That can really wear a player down, same goes for McAvoy in the defensive side.
Ive already decided I'm not expecting a deep run this year, actually winning a round would be Great, hell it would be Great with some sugar on top when its the leaf's, but this off season Sweeney needs to spend his cap space wisely and bring in some top tier talent to play with these two.
