The Toronto Maple Leafs are presenting a confounding picture in their second season under head coach Craig Berube. Despite a record similar to last year, their underlying statistics reveal a team thats both dominant and vulnerable, leaving many observers puzzled. Theyre an offensive powerhouse, leading the league in goals scored, but their defensive structure and goaltending have been inconsistent. Number one goaltender Anthony Stolarz has shown flashes of his previous form, but his overall numbers are down. The teams power play has struggled, but their penalty kill remains strong. Interestingly, the Maple Leafs are showing strange period-by-period trends, scoring a league-best in the third period but struggling in the first and second. This inconsistency is evident even within games, raising the question of whether the Leafs can find a consistent identity as the season progresses.
