Interesting to note,TML have hired former figure skating star Barb Underhill as the team's new skating instructor.

I heard she was working with Schenn already before and gave him some tips to work on for the summer..... who knows....
 
Well, you know what they say about matzo ball soup when you're sick...

... it might not work but (in my best Jewish accent) "it couldn't hurt."
 
If she had been working with Schenn prior to this season then she can go frack herself.

His skating is horrific.

Go out and give the skating school Tavares has been working with a blank cheque to whip their skating into shape.

Could be more to do with the guy the Leafs already had in place (whoever that was) than Underhill. - Who knows? Maybe the the guy responsible by way of this hire has just been told to go frack himself. 
 
Huh... Good 'ole Wiki...

"Underhill was named in the 2011 edition of The Hockey News's list of the 100 most influential people in ice hockey due to her power skating coaching.[2]"

Yeah I just read that too, fingers crossed it can be a good appointment.
 
I looked it up... Graeme Townshend is listed as the Leaf's current skating coach. I'm not sure if he keeps his gig or not.
 
Well it's nice to see something being done about what was a painfully weak point of our skaters with Schenn being the obvious poster-boy.
 
WIGWAL it was Underhill who worked with Tavares as well.  I will give her 2 months into season and if d-men can't get shots through from the point it's open season on her!!!

Didn't she already work with Schenn?

Bust...

Yeah, but perhaps only like I'm one of the fastest skiers on the hill. - No control whatsoever. I'm just a threat to myself and everyone out there. - I get going to fast and I'm too afraid to fall.  ;D
 
The obvious solution here is to turf Lockdown and suit up Underhill.  Or would that be too much like having Kabby back on the blueline?  :o
