Won't matter if they don't put the full sixty minutes in, they had one good period in Ottawa too, but until the Loafs start playing the full sixty on a regular basis, they're going to keep getting burned, particularly against these heavy/counter teams.
Probably, I mean it is the Loafs we are talking about here.
It's a work in progress, they weren't the Loafs in the playoffs, but it takes them a whole season to get there, it's still a young team, they have to learn the hard way, because in the NHL, there's no other way.
The key is just picking up points on a regular basis, and avoiding a big swoon, just keep it heads above water, and get better as you go.
