Ever since he entered in 2014 the league Vasilevsky has quite the pedigree as he's won, 2 Stanley Cups, 1 Vezina Trophy (League's top goalie), 2 NHL All-Star Team, and 1 Conn Smyth Trophy. Now the Leafs are down 3-1 against the Leafs in the playoffs' first round and Vasilevksyi hasn't looked nearly as good as he's been over the last few years, Derek Lalonde (Former TBL Assistant Coach) has his takes on why.
Lalonde was the team's assistant coach up until last year before he took on the head coaching job with the Detroit Red Wings. The coach shocked a lot of people when he revealed what seems to be Vasilevskyi's weakness. He revealed that the infamous Lightnings' number 88 had lots of issues with finding pucks coming from long-range and that they had to adjust their entire D-zone coverage. After 4 games, it's fair to say the Leafs have figured it out.
