The Leafs have really tightened up their exit structure the past few games, including the two boring garbage games against Pittsburgh and St. Louis.

I really like what Babcock points out in this answer:
Unless we can rewatch the game tape over and over, fans are going to gravitate towards the result. So when the D ices the puck, they eat the vitriol because we have the overhead view that shows the options and what the obvious solutions are. But at ice level, when you?re sucking wind after having to hunt down a dump in and getting smushed from behind for your troubles, what can still be seen at that level? Why was the puck turned over to begin with?
For all the accusations of Babcock being a dinosaur, I like that his focus is on the zones that have an opportunity to prevent these things from happening in the first place.
