...and the Leafs had 2 PP's without goals.
Defense wins games. Even when the zamboni driver is in net.

And Dubas doesn’t want to acknowledge this...
Oh he knows. He doesn't have a choice now. He won't fully abandon his vision, and he shouldn't, since this team is young and there is much upside. He absolutely had to change the culture from focusing only on flash, to celebrating lunch pail hockey. At the very least, on the back end.
Not every good team has the most talent, but every good team have guys willing to sacrifice and will themselves to victory. That is the nature of hockey (and most sports).
I don’t even care about this...
but when Dubas fires Babcock, he defending his “no defence” vision, saying wishy-washy stuff like ‘you don’t have to defend if you have the puck all the time’. It really made me question whether he understood the game of hockey...
They won because they scored 6 goals
Which team had the better defensive play in this Zamboni Goalie game?*Team dominates offensively; gets 47 shots and 6 goals*

This is an awful take. Carolina’s defense won this game. Toronto could have scored on every other shot if they had the ability to create a decent shot.Which team had the better offensive play?
Carolina won more on offense than they did on defense, which makes "defense wins games" quite a weird thing to say afterwards.
Don’t worry about what this guy says. It only ever paints Toronto in their poop not stinking colours.This is an awful take. Carolina’s defense won this game. Toronto could have scored on every other shot if they had the ability to create a decent shot.
Carolina was #1 in the league in expected goals for last year, and are 1st again this year, by quite a significant margin.This Canes team had next to nothing offensively last year and went to the east final. That tells you how important defense is.
I am so excited you are awake and active. I am absolutely effing dying to watch you try and put a good spin on the Saturday debacle.Carolina was #1 in the league in expected goals for last year, and are 1st again this year, by quite a significant margin.
They may lack some finishing ability, but generating offense is in reality Carolina's strength.
No, every other shot was not going to go in, regardless of who was in net. Carolina won the game with offense, with their 47 shots and 6 goals, including two quick ones in the 3rd to suck the life out of their opponents.This is an awful take.
