Leafs always seem down by one early in games.
So this stat tells me we should strive to be more like Montreal?
Not showing up on time has been a problem since even Babcock’s time.
The only good team in the top 5 is Tampa.
Ok?
I mean it isn’t surprising. For whatever reason Toronto seemed to have stronger second periods compared to their first. Plenty of games the second was better than their third too.
What’s with people posting awkward stat lines as if they mean a lot?
So the Leafs need to be more like Montreal, San Jose, and Vancouver next season. Lofty goal
