They need a defenseman
Did you see those odd man rushes last night
I did
it's always been a problem, no matter who we have. But yes someone who can punish guys . SolidThey need a defenseman

They're done. Just need coach not to be dumb and we're good.
I'll take more obviously like a bruising D but this team is best in league easy right now.
EDM wins rounds with no goaltending and defense. They score LOTS. next."Defense wins Championships"
"Good teams are built from the goalie out, through strong defense and strength down the middle".
Unfortunately trying to mask your weaknesses, by outscoring your mistakes and defensive breakdowns while trying to compensate for having the weaker goalie in a series is often false hope.
Leafs strategy of 1/2 your salary cap built of 4 highly skilled forwards has proven to be a flawed strategy and Leafs hold the longest losing streak of even winning a series never mind needing to win 4 rounds to hoist a Cup.
If the Leafs don't win (who also score lots) it will be because of their defense and goaltending was not good enough.EDM wins rounds with no goaltending and defense. They score LOTS. next.
Interesting.Following the Blackhawk game it appears they need more heart, or maybe there is a certain superstar who is the issue, a star without heart.
In the Habs game ROR started and AM looked pissed on the bench. Has he taken the adding of ROR with heart and a strong voice as an insult?
ROR was directing players on face offs and cycling, Is that a challenge to AM.
Marner seemed still inspired.
Will players choose sides?
Just a thought.

Read it, blinked after reading it, saw the Poster, laughed, moved on......Insane insight.
Matthews doesn't start every game and everyone knew ROR would start the game.
Players want to win, everyone on the Team would be delighted to have a player like ROR join.
Maybe insane, I hope, but AM has been a little mysterious this season, injured, lower scoring, just looks different than last season, less intense, less goal hungry.Insane insight.
