Detroit Red Wings vs Toronto Maple Leafs: Gameday Updates, Lineups, Keys to the Game

He is. I’d be happy to be the recipient of the well-overdue penalty for a goalie kicking his net off the pegs on purpose. Maybe the goalie wearing intentionally loose straps and shaking his helmet off at the slightest provocation (looking at you, Mrazek). Maybe even the goalie who misjudges a forechecker’s speed and tries to eat the puck along the boards like he’s Darren Helm killing a penalty in the late aughts.

Attack the defense

The husk of Mark Giordano and the rest of the hodgepodge they’ve got patrolling their blue line is a point where you should be able to get pressure.

Don’t make the mistakes you have to outscore

This team will eat you alive if you try to open it up. That’s how they’ve tried to forge their identity and they’d love a track meet.

Good mustache/bad mustache

Embarrass Auston Matthews for that terrible dirt-lip. Filip Hronek’s is better.
