Depending on what you decide to call it, there was a heated "debate" or "discussion" yesterday about just where defenders should be standing while killing a penalty. It's good that the Leafs are spending some time sorting out their problems on the PK, but as James Mirtle points out, this is something that probably should have been sorted out earlier.

"We’re doing some things on blocking shots and being in the proper lane," Wilson explained. "[We’re] discussing some of the techniques because at times we’re screening the goalie, we’re not blocking the shot. We’ve got to find a way to block the shot or get out of the way."
