Is there a bias against the Leafs? Whether you believe that or not, It doesn’t matter. Good teams block out...
A conspiracy theory floated around social media this season has pointed out the personal connection between McCauley and Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe; McCauley is the brother-in-law of David Frost, the notorious agent and minor hockey coach who formed a hockey cult known as the ‘Brampton Boys’ and proceeded to manipulate their behavior as they ascended up the major junior ranks.
Asked after Game 1 whether they believed the Lightning, who won the Stanley Cup in 2020 and 2021 and reached the final last year, got the benefit of the doubt from officials because of their veteran experience, some of the Leafs bit. Not all the Leafs subscribed to the line of questioning. As Auston Matthews saw it, all the penalties they took were actual penalties.
The Leafs had a tough time staying out of the box in Game 1 – and in all of their Round 1 series against the Bolts last year, too. They were on the power play 28 times compared to 33 times shorthanded. But guess what? The Leafs converted just four of their own power plays for an efficiency of 14.3 percent. The balance of calls doesn’t matter much if you aren’t capitalizing anyway.
