Not sure if this is coaching or players but there were so many times I saw not one, but two Leafs skaters standing in the neutral zone waiting for and receiving passes leading to really good scoring chances.

@Pinkfloyd said earlier we are playing an aggressive style of hockey. Its exposing our goalie to chances and he has obviously not been the best goalie against those.
I remember a few years back when we used to play a D first style of hockey the games were a lot more boring but yielded better results. This year has no doubt been more exciting and high scoring but the results have not been consistent. We need to go back to the boring D first style and try to push the play by quick short passes to force our offense.
Not sure how patient DW is going to be to see if PDB can sort this out but if we are playing sloppy D by mid-season, I am going to be concerned. People were blaming EK65 for our D problems but he is far from the issue.
