In Polak's defence (ugh), that's a strategy that comes down from the coaching staff. All the Leafs kill penalties like that. It's called "fronting". Ron Wilson used to do it with the Leafs when he was here and fans and media alike roasted him for it constantly.
 
Really strong board work on the pinch by Fowler that turned into the goal against. He just put his butt into Rielly?s hands and there was no play for Morgan to make.
 
Willy is so beautiful. He?s been getting stuffed on those this year. Nice to see him get one.
 
Best play on that backcheck by Marner tonight. He?s been struggling against the reach and aggressiveness of the Ducks.

Yeah, a couple of times he's been mccabed by the big boys.
 
Teehee Nylnder skipping in front of Polak because he didn?t want to get smoked by the shot.
 
I really love Dermott's patience. So many other young players would just dump the puck or throw it away under pressure. He rarely does.

Yeah! The Marlies are being coached to do this as much as they can. Most aren?t as good as Dermott and Liljegren at it though.
