Probably not since the 60s.18 years of watching Leafs hockey, they never had a shutdown type D. Not even once.
That is a weird challenge. Waste of a timeout.
But your specific argument was “but they’re professionals, so they know better.”Because Burke and JfJ have nothing to do with the current context. If you pull a random off to street and think he can out coach someone like Babs who eats sleeps and breathes hockey and ha's all his life. You are fooling yourself to fit a narrative based on madness.
The goal posts keep getting moved. I didn't mention Babs whatsoever originally but that's what someone deflected onto, so I spoke to that and now people keep running off in even odder ways. Like bringing BB or JFJ into the equation.
Can the Leafs just shut down the Stars in this period? I'd be very encouraged if they kept them off the board.
At least keep them off the board for the first 8-10 minutes so they don't get momentum. An early goal against will scare the bejesus outta me
Yesh, watch Dallas, they cover our D well!Points are left wide open again
Marner and Tavares are above ppg, but we're a one line team?What worries me is that this is a one line team, and we still can’t shut them down. What about the 3 line teams?
yup no sense even getting worried... we are used this.We all know it's coming just a matter of time
