L K said:I want to believe that the Tavares goal gets the PP going again, but that shot seemed to be a byproduct of a broken play where the Leafs were doing a lot of the same Rielly holds the puck up at the blueline and slow passes back and forth with Matthews or Marner.

Willy shoot Willy score
Bullfrog said:I've seen a bunch of comments about Reilly not being a threat with his shot and "Marner shouldn't be the one shooting", but I disagree. They all have NHL shots. They need to start unleashing them. You've got Tavares and Nylander down low. Get the puck on the net and let them go to work.
I was watching the Vancouver PP carefully. It seemed to be so much more dynamic but they also shot it more.
Basically what I'm saying is: need more Nylander.

This is a thing Keefe asks his centres to do; Matthews specifically on the PP would use this to get 'lost' in the defensive re-assignments and let him attack with a speed differential.
We're too static in the OZ; you're right, the only player who goes into the high danger slot consistently with movement these days is Nylander. Our net front set up is stationary, and pretty useless unless Marner and Rielly actually get the puck down to them, instead of floating muffins into the crest, or off high blocks and out.

Not sure I can forgive you for making me hear Stewart talk about how the team needs to play better defence when the goalies are struggling... the guy saw Rittich's 5th goal right?
