After spending the start of the season on the trade block, the Toronto Maple Leafs were happy they didn't move Justin Holl.�That's because they lost Travis Dermott and Rasmus Sandin to injury and having Holl around for depth was great.�However his play recently has been brutal.�Jake Muzzin has usually done enough to keep Holl looking good, however this season there's nothing�Muzzin can do and Holl is taking Muzzin down with him.�Head coach Sheldon Keefe tried to explain the struggle.�«Right now, I think he's in his head a little bit in terms of what's the right play at the right time,» Keefe said. «That tends to happen when the season isn't going the way you'd like it to.»What can he do to fix his game?«his speed and his length defensively to close on people and defend that way. And then also offensively, using his speed and his reach to get out of trouble and move the puck up to the forwards quickly and efficiently.»
What do you think of Keefe's comments?
