Early on in this season, there were two things most often discussed about the Maple Leafs. Their power play was to hot not to cool down, and their five-on-five play was barely tepid. The penalty kill was largely ignored as something that was fine, and fun to watch because the Leafs won games no matter what.
The penalty kill gets more attention now that the recent success percentage hasn’t been that good, and the power play is getting suspiciously ineffective. Some bad goalie performances have proven the fulitily of looking only at the win/loss record, so a deeperlook is in order.
