After the Maple Leafs’ latest loss to the Dallas Stars on Sunday night, we wrote the following about the team’s power play: To repeat ourselves until we’re blue in the face, the Leafs obviously have to come up with something out of four power-play opportunities, and the lack of man-advantage production is absolutely killing them […]

When Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and John Tavares alone combine to double the other team’s total in high-danger chances, the Maple Leafs are supposed to win the hockey game. Instead, the Leafs’ only goal came from Scott Laughton, and they ultimately lost 5-1, a scoreline that flattered the Stars. Despite breakaways for Matthews and Nylander, […]

Instead, we need to look an hour east of Gra...
