Dave Feschuk: The Leafs don’t have time to wait for Sergei Bobrovsky to spring a leak
and it’s only fair to note that, two games into the second round, none of Toronto’s core four forwards has scored so much as one goal. How long can that last?Sergei Bobrovsky
“A 2-0 lead on home ice, we should be able to win that hockey game, even if it ends up having to be 2-1,” said the coach. Some of this is on Toronto’s power play, which clearly needs to be better than its 1-for-7 work in the series. The Leafs’ top unit hasn’t done nearly enough to expose the weak spots of a Florida penalty kill that ranked 23rd during the regular season and surrendered 11 power-play goals in seven games to the Boston Bruins.
The vagaries of goaltending and randomness mean the teams truly bent on winning understand they can’t afford to leave their fate completely in the fickle hands of the shooting-percentage fairies. There’s a proven way to take a chunk out of Bobrovsky’s save percentage. It involves carving out net-front real estate and holding that ground.Tampa Bay’s Andrei Vasilevskiy
