The Florida Panthers have been stretching the Toronto Maple Leafs to their limits all series in the offensive zone. Cape Breton Eagles head coach Jon Goyens joined Daily Faceoff Live to discuss the Panthers’ offensive attack and how the Maple Leafs can mimic it in the future.: So, Jon, I loved the approach from the Leafs in game 4; they seemed a lot more comfortable.
Currently, they are last in terms of teams who are left in the second round; they are last in goals that are scored in the trapezoid area in 5v5. As we saw in the game-winning goal yesterday, not only did they use the trapezoid area to release pressure, they go to it four times; they don’t force a blocked shot they don’t force a turnover, it’s a different version of possession, but they have the opportunity to create off of what seems like chaos and getting Florida to run around.
That’s probably the last spot when you start doing this and getting your lows to highs, which is how quickly defensive coverages seem to lose the net presence guy as he sprints to either box out or just creates that chaos. I thought it Toronto could add this to their arsenal, if you will, and this will get Florida’s defense running around, and they might not be Abel to keep up to their pace.
