LEAFS DEFENSE CORE GETTING SOME RESPECT

Created by: TML_Tika
Team: 2019-20 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 5, 2020
Published: Aug. 5, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
The Leafs defense core is much better than than they are given credit and look to continue to get the job done against Columbus with or without Muzzen. Anticipate the Sandman moving into the line-up if Muzzen is out for game 3. Dermott, Holl and Ceci really proving their true values to the non-believers.

CBJ certainly isn't an offensive powerhouse. True test will be if you get to a better offensive team.

While the leafs defense is better than I anticipated. Last night was one of the worst offensive performance I’ve ever seen by the blue jackets. We looked like an east coast team vs the nhl all stars on offense.

Yup, riding the Leafland roller coaster has to be friggin' exhausting tears of joy

Game one, it's "GET RID OF CECI!" "ANDERSEN IS OVERRATED! TRADE HIM TO CALGARY! HE'S NOT CLUTCH!"
Game two, it's "Dermott, Holl and Ceci really proving their true values to the non-believers."

CBJ is a trap based team, similar to the old NJ and Minnesota teams that just suffocated teams, and were constantly in 1-2 goal games. They're going to get about 20-25 shots a night, because they're only sending 1-2 forwards deep every shift. Not overly hard to defend, just have to make sure you're not the team that gives up the big play.

It's less defense corp getting respect than it is the Offense was on point. Last night was a perfect example of what the Leafs need to do to be successful. Offensive pressure to lessen the dependancy on defense. That tactic may get them out of the 1st round, however, that's as far as I think this team can go with the way they're currently built. Unless our big 4 are capable of playing a more physical game, they're in deep against more upbeat physical skilled teams like BOS, CAR and WSH. I am stil skeptical they can get out of the 2nd round.

not that tml tika's threads are anything but hyperbole, but a lot of you were writing off the leafs because of their defense and how great columbus is.

toronto smashes through their defense and we're getting the "AKSHUCLLY" posts.

Congrats for putting it together for one game against a team devoid of offense. When is the parade?

LEAFS DEFENSE CORE GETTING SOME RESPECTWATCH THREAD

No the Leafs defence will never get any respect.....for decades to come. For years on CF...keep hearing about the horrid right side of the Leafs defence. Gee, not one comment today about CBJ RHD Jones making a poor decision leading to Tavares breakaway and the Leafs second goal.

He is not free as you still need to pay a player that actually makes your team worst.
