I won’t be able to stomach another run & gun game with these guys. A nice safe counterpunch game works for me with these guys. Leafs need to stop getting sucked in to the wide open game. Play our game. don’t have the defense pinching much and hem these guys up in the neutral zone all night.
I mean pinches can also a lot of the time be aggressive gap control & defense (e.x. pinching or jumping up in the neutral or offensive zone to interupt/intercept a pass, puck, stick or body contact/hit). Or sort of with a guy like Kreider where you want to slow him down & stop him early before he gets up to speed; McDavid too although you really have to be cautious about him, he's so deceptive & slippery.

Any thoughts on who Dubas might be scouting? I can’t see a single player on either roster (who is available) that would fit a need. I guess Gaudreau might be available and obviously would be great to have but the cost would have to be too much.​
I'd think we would want toughness for the playoffs. I don't follow Calgary is Gaudreau a big hitter?

It was recently mentioned on here that maybe Bradon Cosburn would be a good fit as a "depth D". Basically, a number 7 to be placed ahead of Marincin.
