There’s been a lot of power play talk this season, and rightfully so, because the Leafs power play is terrible. Watching the Tampa Bay Lightning and Colorado Avalanche operate this week has only solidified how silly the Leafs system and execution has been.
In the past week we’ve gotten pitchforks pointed at Mitch Marner, Sheldon Keefe, Manny Malhotra, shooting percentage. We’ve had debunked gossip and galaxy brain conspiracies. But settling all that aside, who is to blame for the Leafs power play?
Is it Mitch Marner?
No, I don’t think it’s one player’s fault for going out and executing a system that was designed by his boss.
