Calgary Flames Official Thread

One really has to wonder about the Leafs core and whether they have what it takes. The bottom line is Leafs star players haven't been able to deliver when the going gets tough.

I think it's also a style of play issue. Nylander and Tavares seem to do better in the playoffs because they play a more North-South puck carrying game. Matthews was injured this year, but him and Marner's game typically relies on finding gaps in coverage which are just far fewer in the playoffs, especially late in the series. Teams are studying your tendencies and will have their top D pair on you. Matthews has the size to change his game, Marner I'm not so sure.
