What I find annoying is that the players who were physical on a different team lose that aspect of the game when they join the Leafs. Where is Muzzin's physicality, his game is a lot different then he was with the Kings. Where is Simmonds physicality like when he was with the Flyers? Clifford? Nick Ritchie?
The thing is when your the only guy hitting or fighting it gets hard to keep that style up when you feel nobody has your back. The leafs role players are the softest in the league and in a playoff series never ware down the other team. Kerfoot, Engvall, Spezza, Kampf, Mikheyev, Bunting don't ever give out bone crushing checks and Simmonds might once every 10 games. Sandin probably leads the d-men in hits and Muzzin might through a big hit once a month but the other guys couldn't break a pain of glass.
