WordsOfWisdom Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 In recent games I've seen several instances where a Toronto player got nailed, and there was no response from anyone in a blue and white sweater. On one play, Tavares got checked hard into the net after a play stoppage and Matthews (who was right there when it happened) just skated past the opposing player and did nothing. Then the other night Thornton got speared/slashed along the boards from Ehlers and there was no response by Kerfoot (who was right there). This doesn't bode well for the Leafs in the playoffs. A team that won't stand up for each other is the kind of team that will get rolled over when it matters most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The North division is certainly there for the taking, but a wake up call is coming in the "conference" final unless this team starts to play a more physical game, especially when they start playing a US team with fans in the building. If someone mows down one of your top players there has to be some pushback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
