The game against the Toronto Maple Leafs was always going to be closely watched by a lot of hockey fans. After all, they’re a popular team with a host of big-name stars, including a local kid from Scottsdale, Arizona, named Auston Matthews. Oh yeah, and they have a new head coach too, and you can bet that the players wanted to impress him last night. It appears as if they did.
The Toronto Maple Leafs entered the ‘Yotes’ “D” zone early and often with their bevy of skillful players, supported by their own “D” men. If that sounds familiar, it’s because the Coyotes routinely employ the same tactics.
