bold? i thought this was the baseline Leafs defensive strategy

What do you mean bold, that’s been our only defense strategy for a while now.

It did work

Looks like my beer league team playing defense in front of me.

Maybe we’re on to something. It worked

Don’t worry, they are there. You just can’t see them. They took advice from John Cena literally!

Reminds me of Markstrom dealing with the slowest three on one of all time in his Vancouver days.

That was a shockingly careless shift from Toronto. I don’t watch them often but it seems like some of their stars just don’t give a shit sometimes. This was one of the more egregious examples.

With out offense there is no defense… Or something… IDK…

It was bold and successful.

Keefe: You haven’t been spending enough time in the O zone on the PP

It was a stupid game. Jets missing 4 key players and cant score on a bad goaltender with awful defense.
And the leafs can’t score on the Jets with their best players against a backup goalie. Granted Broissoit is an amazing goalie and the Jets are the best defensive team. But the Jets also gave up 5 penalties.

I gotta say watching Sammy this season has been painful. He would flop around and looked uncomfortable. Last night he was steady and waited for shots to come to him and reacted quickly. Looked like a completely different guy out there. Hopefully this is the guy we see from now on. But no goalie should ever have to face a 2 on fucking 0…especially when you have the power play

Watching their passing was like watching my wife overthinking until everything falls apart and she’s crying in the shower over something that was actually really easy.

6 shots 25% into the 2nd period and on PP. picture says a thousand words but not that they won in OT

I legitimately laughed out loud at this. Haven’t done that from an internet post in a while

No better way to get your goalie’s confidence back than by letting him show he doesn’t need any defence to help him out!

One of the better pranks this season

Leaf fan here didn’t see the game but I’m gonna guess Rielly and Brodie were the d this shift

You know what they say… offense is the best defense.

Watch other teams deploy forwards from now on.

The ol’ crush their confidence with a failed 2 on 0. 10% of the time it works every time.

Maple Leafs Deploy Bold Defensive Strategy.
