I know that the season is very young but according to you, what are the known and observable weaknesses of your current team on the ice?

[stats1]

From this Leafs fan I would say our weaknesses are our discipline. We’re taking wayyyy too many penalties so far. Benoit has taken 4 or 5 penalties in 3 games. Our strengths so far have been our defence/system/structure and our goaltending. Leafs are really deep in net once Woll gets healthy.

Our PP is dog shit again however. As much fire power as the Leafs have I have no idea why year after year they struggle for large portions of the year with the man advantage

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

We get hemmed in like crazy

 

[Hisch13r]

Jack Hughes has been noticeably awful. The D could use Luke and Pesce back. I don’t think it’s a coincidence the one game they dominated start to finish was the only game Jack showed up for. Once that stuff sorts itself out things *should* all fall into place.

Seems like depth is a common complaint in this thread...... and there are more teams coming in this league.

Seems to me that goalies at the nhl are either really good, or god awful

 

[RI.B FAN]

Bruins have been very sloppy in their own end, hoping 10-15 games will bring some familiarity

 

[Ceremony]

Time will tell whether or not the Avalanche's goaltending holds up.

 

[5 Minute Major]

The Sabres PP is absolutely pathetic.

 

[eviohh26]

We don't do 2nd periods.

Good. Fourth liners of today are probably at the skill/technique level of second or third liners from fifty years ago. Goaltenders are so much better.

I hope you realize that there's a lot more countries producing NHL-level players today than back then. The number of good players is astronomical compared to old times. More teams will be great.

As for the Habs weaknesses... their D is still average, they continue to be beaten regularly shot-wise, and they need even more skills up front.

For the Leafs, we're basically too sexy and have too much swagger, it's not fair being this kawaii and tsundure :3 uWu

 

[I am not exposed]

We look knackered. Classic Stanley Cup hangover.

 

[Jetcetera]

Jets ruining good chances by over passing and the second line is more like a good third line but other than that every part of this teams game has been good thus far. Special teams look lethal this year

 

[chris kontos]

Kings long term goal is mediocrity

 

[nbwingsfan]

For the Habs, there is a lack of offensive talent and toughness among the forwards.

Defense, but that was known well before the season began

 

[CallMeShaft]

The Hawks have one legit top line guy and then a bunch of 2nd and 3rd line guys.

I think it's unfair to Bedard to suggest TT is your only first liner.
