Cut down on the penalties
The Leafs have been incredibly undisciplined to start the year. They are currently 10th in the league for minor penalties per game played (stat from Statmuse.com).
If the Leafs were racking up penalties for fighting I wouldn't care that much but bad tripping and hooking penalties are lazy and only hurt the team.
The penalty kill has been good to start the year so it hasn't hurt them too much yet. They currently sit 10th in the league at an 85 percent penalty kill percentage.
Although the penalty kill has been very good, it still hurts the team not being able to play at five-on-five. Part of me expects the penalties to figure themselves out as the season goes on and the referees stop calling the game as tightly but that's something we will have to wait and see.
One player who has taken way too many penalties is Simon Benoit. I like Benoit as a player and I do think he was unlucky with one of the penalties he took against Pittsburgh but he can't keep putting the team on the penalty kill. He's had a tough start to the season and I hope he can turn it around.
