Maybe 3 is Maurices fault, but ultametly it comes down to the Leafs defensemen and forwards to come back and just keep it simple.

An interesting note...
We have the most expensive defense core in the league (21 million give to cap), yet we let the most goals per game.
Is this not also a coaching issue? He(they) are the ones that are suppose to put the system in place. If players aren't buying into that system (ie. keeping it simple), sit them for a few shifts?
