These Leafs kind of remind me of the Flames peak in the Treliving era in Calgary...they aren't an overly fast team and they aren't an overly big/physical team. They rely a lot on smarts and cerebral play more than physical attributes.
So when the playoffs start the physical attributes they are missing start to become more apparent when the pace and physicality starts to pick up.
And missing a true number 1 dman too.
