Anthony Petrielli discusses ‘heaviness’ and the state of Toronto Maple Leafs defense on Sportsnet 590

On the options available to add more heaviness to the forward corps:

They’re still a really young team up front. Eventually, these guys are going to age a little bit, put on some pounds, with the infamous old-man strength, so to speak. They are going to get just naturally heavier and more physical as time goes on. We’ve seen it with a ton of players. It will happen. There will be a bit of a natural curve. Plus, the game changes as the season goes on and the Leafs players will change with it, too.
