what has been impressive in the last 3 games is how well Washington has taken it to the  Leafs in the first 10 minutes of play of each game. Leaf players really need to get it going quickly so they are not playing 'catch up' early in the first period. Put out the 4th line against Ovechkins line and allow them to be physical.
Make sure you hit Ovechkin from behind (lots of cheap blind siding) just like he does to the opposition. Hope for better refereeing.
