It seems to me we are able to sustain our hard ass forecheck and skating the entire game this year. We are pretty much unbeatable once we get a lead. We are rarely tied up late in games and when we are tied going into the 3rd period, we win.
I remember last year when Jacques took over, one of his goals was to increase team fitness. It seems to have occurred and we are more fit than the teams we play.
We ran the Bruins and lesser extent the Flyers into the ground. Even tonight, it seemed to me as the game went on, the Leafs lost their legs and we got stronger.
I know our playoff run last year brought the team together and showed them they could win, and this year Price is carrying the Halak mantra and winning for us, but the rest of the team is not caving in due to fatigue.
They look almost as strong at the end of the games than the beginning.
Maybe there is method to Jacques' madness.
