It's Been reported that the players are being told to go to a spot and don't move from that spot, to not be creative. That is why they keep making the same seam passes even when they aren't working. That is why they keep doing drop passes and they get intercepted, because opposition knows it's coming.

They are being told to be robots, don't deviate from the plan.

If that's true it explains the not give a poop attitude. They are mad.

They are being told not to be creative? Where's this report coming from?

If that's the case, everyone from Shanahan down should be fired. I've never known a team, in any sport, to have specifically been told not to be creative. That's gross negligence by everyone associated with the organization

Skilled players want to play with skill and be creative. The pp is the perfect time to do so.

Muzzin is on the pp.

On the 2nd unit. The first unit needs a weapon other than the cross seam pass.

I was listening to the radio, Bruce Arthur said he talked to players and asked about leafs pp issues he said that they specifically said:

"They are told to go to specific areas and are not allowed to leave that area"

"They have set plays like the seam pass, and they are told to do that"

He said the players seemed frustered about the pp struggles because they aren't being allowed to fix it becaus they are specifically told not to deviate from the plan and not get creative.

Ya, not too sure of the legitimacy of the claim.
Could be out of context or misquoted.

Was that call weak or what?

Everyone from Shanny, including him, should be let go. If Bruce Arthur knows our players are being told not to be creative, then Shanny and Dubas will know this as well.

I've never ever heard any team being told to not be creative. I wonder if this spells the end of Marner? He doesn't seem to fit the plan.

This Leafs management are really taking the fans for a ride, and they're wrong if they think they can get away with telling the team not to be creative.

So, the Leafs are the best team in the 3rd with a lead, and poop when trailing... how are they when tied?

I really hope this isn’t true. It’s very immature.

Cool, you are mad that the coaching staff hasn’t changed the PP up after it’s struggles but that doesn’t mean you go out there and not give a poop.

That’s a lose-lose situation where you aren’t going anywhere.

Hey, nothing wrong with that.
