Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – The Toronto Maple Leafs blue-line is a mess.
Last season, the Toronto Maple Leafs were able to sit Timothy LIljegren and Erik Gustaffson in the playoffs, and that was because they had an impressive amount of depth.
But it was also because the coach dressed Justin Holl and Luke Schenn too high in the lineup. Now, both were understandable moves to some extent, but the Leafs were sitting two of their best players while playing two of their worst and that gave an impression of depth that might not have been real.
