“This is good for them. It’ll teach them a little toughness going into the playoffs.' Don Cherry believes the Leafs' current struggles could benefit them in the long run, especially against the Bruins. Presented by BudweiserCanada || CellySZN
fan, Don Cherry has a message for you.
As Cherry understands from his days behind the bench of the Bruins, it’s easy to ignore flaws when you’re winning. Talk of the Leafs’ fast-paced, high-scoring, low-defence playing style being unsustainable has gotten increasingly louder, and the timing of their current slump, made worse by injuries on the blue line, seems less than ideal for those anticipating a tough first-round battle against Boston. The Maple Leafs have let in 37 goals in 10 games this month, going 5-5 during that time.
