Who are you talking to?

I'm a little irked that after we score a goal, we ice the least energetic of our lines (Pouliot-Larsson-Pommers), a checking line that won't throw a check, and two AHL-level (but with a future) defensemen. That said, everyone else was on the PP.

A checking line in 2018 NHL doesn't hit. Just saying.

It doesn't have to be a line of thumpers, but making disruptive contact is still important. Martin (an actual checker) just hit Risto along the boards. Almost became a full Leafs possession, but Sabres were able to clear the zone. Next shift, Nylander didn't just poke-check, he got his body on... (Nelson? Scandella?) and it became a Leafs possession and shot.    Was busy typing so didn't see if this goal was caused by anything. But checking lines and all players can still make contact. Even Larsson isn't doing that this year.
