Bruce Boudreau Reveals The Obvious Strategy to Beat the Maple Leafs in the Playoffs
The former head coach Bruce Boudreau recently gave his take on what the Toronto Maple Leafs need to do to succeed in the playoffs. He shared some insights on strategies that other teams might use to beat the Leafs.
Boudreau Reveals The Obvious Strategy to Beat the Maple Leafs in the Playoffs
According to Boudreau, teams that want to beat the Leafs will focus on shutting down Auston Matthews.
"Bruce Boudreau on TSN's Trade Show, on beating Toronto in playoffs: "Stop Matthews and you stop the Leafs. The other (Core Four) guys are good ... but he's the head of the snake."
Matthews isn't only the best player in Toronto, he's one of the best in the League. It won't be an easy task to stop him, but if his opponents manage to do it, others in the team will need to step up.
The Maple Leafs Look Good Ahead of the Playoffs
Brad Treliving made interesting additions to the lineup, especially at the blue line. Ilya Lyubushkin and Joel Edmundson will play a key role in the playoffs.
We'll see in the coming games how the Leafs can up their game, but there's great hope that they can reach a new level in the playoffs.
If Matthews, the goalies and the defensemen do their job, they could very well be one of the toughest teams to beat in the playoffs.
