Thanks, WIGWAL. It's all semi-evidence-based speculation, but I'm seeing the team embrace the concept that hockey is a strong-link sport and they're dedicating resources to really building up those key guys.
They caught the Calgary Flames on a flat day, but I thought the Leafs played a nice complete (almost boring) game last night.
Some of our defense is still not confident enough (or experienced in the League enough) to gap up on attackers at the line (Zaitsev, Borgman), but they did a good job overall the past two games limiting dangerous chances. Those two in particular are also starting to use their skating to get out of danger more to free up a cleaner first pass.
