Re: Tampa Bay, this is a good example of a skill guy who was tough enough to execute a skill play by splitting the D between Chara and McAvoy. This is Brayden Point, who is smaller than Mitch Marner. This is the kind of toughness that would be a bare minimum requirement for a skill player in a seven game series. Don't be afraid to go to high danger areas, be willing to make the play under physical duress.
We didn't have enough of this and that's why we lost to Boston. Not sure why we are trying to deny the existence of a flaw when we can go out and improve on it.
