Thread: Ryan Strome

I'm just going off rumours here guys haha, I wouldn't really want Strome either.

Thread: Cup-friendly Leafers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>I had never laughed so hard in my entire life XD JT is fast and skilled, he wasnt so fast in the beginning of his career, but now he is. He is EXACTLY what Leafs want and need!</div></div>

The problem was never his speed. He has continue to work hard at that with elite skating coaches his entire minor hockey and pro career, the problem was his edge work. If you look at some Tavares game footage from a few years ago, he has fast and clean straight lines back and forth and tries hard to play a defensive game. The problem used to be that he lost a step because his edges and stops weren't as crisp and fluid as other players around him. He has worked hard on that stuff, specifically, I believe, with Barbara Underhill. There is a specific clip of Tavares last year battling Sean Couturier along the board where he out muscles the bigger and stronger Couturier with some incredible foot and stick work. Tavares is a special player and I think the rest of the league is just upset that he signed with the Leafs.
