This is interesting.
Per CBS Sportsline, in a recap of Monday’s win over Atlanta:
“Toronto improved to 8-0-2 when leading after two periods.”
I was not aware of that. If there’s a better measure of a coaching staff and/or their system, I sure would like to hear it.
FYI another Statistical Roundup is on the way; it should be up shortly after the Stars game.
