Analysis:
Leafs looked sluggish and lack and offensive flair. Too much fancy stuff need to be less fancy and cycle.
Need to Do:
Dump and chase and cycle.

Toronto:
Analysis:
Nothing going in the 3rd. Leafs too fancy all game and hang Andersen out to dry and had no jump to their game. Probably the worst game they’ve played all season.
On to the next one. #LeafsForever pic.twitter.com/FNnJOzcxz6
