Faceoffs 8/19 11/19

Analysis:
Leafs dominated much of this period, outshooting out chancing but Howard held down the fort for Detroit. Toronto needs to get a cycle going and some pressure and traffic in front of Howard. But all in all a great opening period.
Need to Do:
The Leafs need to be better in the faceoff circle only winning 8 of 19 faceoffs. Keep the pressure on.

Need to Do:
Leafs need to stay on attack. Do not play the trap in the 3rd.
