It's the same story every game. I don't remember the last time we clearly outplayed a team in the playoffs. Honestly, I'm not sure I remember the last time we clearly outplayed anyone.
Going by natural stat trick (unsure how accurate their game time stats are).
And our Leafs still lost that game in Ottawa.
It was one shift they were hemmed in that probably gave that result my eyes tell me they weren’t that bad screw stats my friend
I'm far more upset at the pro scouting staff and management than Laughton. Who did the team think they were getting? Laughton is a career 3rd liner who doesn't excel on either side of the puck and has always profiled better on the wing. After watching the Leafs try and fail with so many different third line center options (Kerfoot, Jarnkrok, Holmberg, Kampf, and Domi) I'm beginning to wonder if they even know what they are looking for.
Benoit seems very hesitant to me. Last year he was so aggressive trying to kill plays and this year for whatever reason I have noticed him backing off on entries or thinking a split second before trying to cut off a play. It's a small thing, but something that makes a big difference for a guy who doesn't add anything with the puck.
