We obviously haven't played like that over the last few games. We're 10th in the league right now based on points... but we've played pretty horribly over the last 5 or 6 games or whatever it was.
Look at it in another way.
Lately, the refs are anti-Leafs, and gives most of the penalties to Toronto and the other team gets all the power plays.
After the initial outburst of penalties, the refs quietly call less, means less power plays for the #2 PP unit from last season.
The Leafs have not been scoring power play goals lately and that is costing them games. Brown got 1 power play goal yesterday, and before that the team had none, because they weren't even on the PP.
So, they have to tighten up defensively, and not rely on the power play, and do more 5 on 5.
The way the season is going, the Leafs will need more offense from the wingers, especially the younger ones. Matthews, Kadri. Marleau, JVR. Mostly vetrans leading the scoring from the center position and the wing. The younger wingers must step up now, like Hyman and Brown. Leivo maybe, Kapenan.
