這始終是風險。 Leafs在Berube下的新身份尚未產生預期的結果。

這始終是風險。在整個賽季中，多倫多楓葉隊在近距離比賽之後進行了近距離比賽，而硬幣式彈跳遊戲本質上都可能已經走了。

The Toronto Maple Leafs are a team that likes to play close games. In fact, they're coin-flip contenders.

多倫多楓葉是一個喜歡玩近距離比賽的團隊。實際上，它們是硬幣翼競爭者。

This was always the risk. All season long, the Leafs played close game after close game, coin-flip games, essentially, that could have gone either way.

這始終是風險。整個賽季，Leafs在近距離比賽之後進行了近距離比賽，從本質上講，Coin-Flip Games都可以進行。

And in Games 2 and 3 of this first-round series, the Leafs won those coin flips, beating the Ottawa Senators twice in overtime.

在首輪系列賽的第2和第3場比賽中，Leafs贏得了這些硬幣翻轉，在加時賽中兩次擊敗了渥太華參議員。

But that’s the thing with coin flips. They are 50-50 propositions. In Games 4 and 5, the coin flip suddenly went the other way.

但這就是硬幣翻轉的事情。他們是50-50個命題。在第4和第5場比賽中，硬幣翻轉突然進行了另一種方式。

On Tuesday night, with a second chance to bury the Sens, the Leafs failed to score even once.

在星期二晚上，有了第二次掩埋感官的機會，葉子甚至沒有得分一次。

In terms of quality, their five-on-five offence has been just about the worst of any team in the playoffs (as of this writing).

在質量方面，他們的五對五進攻幾乎是季后賽中任何球隊中最糟糕的（截至撰寫本文）。

Those 1.83 expected goals per 60 minutes at five-on-five are lower than any team in the playoffs and are up from 2.4 during the regular season, which still only ranked 22nd overall. The Leafs are mustering just over six high-danger shot attempts per 60 in these playoffs, easily the worst of any playoff team (the Hurricanes are up over 14).

五對五對五對五分球的1.83個預期進球低於季后賽中的任何球隊，並且在常規賽中的2.4次，總排名僅排名第22位。在這些季后賽中，葉子正召集每60次超過6次高射擊的嘗試，這很容易成為任何季后賽中最糟糕的球隊（颶風超過14個）。

In other words, the Leafs aren’t generating a lot of the good stuff around the Ottawa net. Or much stuff, period. They rank last in shot attempt rate and second-last (topping only the Sens) in shot rate.

換句話說，葉子沒有在渥太華網上產生很多好東西。或很多東西，時期。他們在射擊率和第二次射擊率中排名最後。

If not for the shaky goaltending early in the series from Linus Ullmark, the Leafs wouldn’t have as many five-on-five goals this series (10) as they do. (And two of those goals came in overtimes.) Ullmark turned down every good-to-great look they had in Game 5 with a 29-save shutout.

如果不是因為Linus Ullmark的系列賽初期的搖搖欲墜的守門員，那麼本系列（10）的Leafs就不會像他們那樣多五對五個進球。 （這些進球中有兩個是在加時賽的。）Ullmark拒絕了他們在第5場比賽中以29個彈跳的方式拒絕的每一個美好​​的外觀。

Dig into the five-on-five production and you’ll see that exactly half of the goals came from defencemen. In fact, the co-team leaders in five-on-five goals this series are both defencemen: Morgan Rielly and Oliver Ekman-Larsson, with two each.

挖掘五對五對五的作品，您會看到一半的進球來自防守隊員。實際上，本系列賽的共同團隊領導者是五對五個進球的領導者：摩根·瑞爾利（Morgan Rielly）和奧利弗·埃克曼·拉爾森（Oliver Ekman-Larsson），每個都有兩個。

In other words:

換句話說：

Defencemen: 5

防守隊員：5

Forwards: 5

前鋒：5

William Nylander, who led the team in five-on-five goals during the regular season, still has yet to score one in this series while Craig Berube continues to search for the right left winger to play alongside him and John Tavares.

威廉·尼蘭德（William Nylander）在常規賽中以五對五進球為進球的威廉·尼蘭德（William Nylander）仍然在本系列賽中得分一個，而克雷格·貝魯伯（Craig Berube）繼續尋找右左翼，與他和約翰·塔瓦雷斯（John Tavares）一起比賽。

In Game 5 alone, the Leafs coach tried Pontus Holmberg, Bobby McMann, Max Domi and Calle Järnkrok.

僅在第5場比賽中，LEAFS教練就嘗試了Pontus Holmberg，Bobby McMann，Max Domi和CalleJärnkrok。

Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, Matthew Knies and Tavares have scored one five-on-five goal apiece in this series.

奧斯頓·馬修斯（Auston Matthews），米奇·馬納（Mitch Marner），馬修·諾斯（Matthew Knies）和塔瓦雷斯（Tavares）在本系列賽中攻入了一個五對五個進球。

Domi scored the other one for the forwards in overtime of Game 2.

多米（Domi）在第2場加時賽中為前鋒隊攻入了另一個。

When they hired Berube last summer to replace Sheldon Keefe, the Leafs decided it was better to play this way. The Berube Way would eliminate risk. The Leafs would take fewer chances and as a result, they would give up fewer chances. That would lead to more (any!) success in the playoffs.

當他們去年夏天聘請Berube取代Sheldon Keefe時，Leafs決定最好這樣玩。 Berube方法將消除風險。葉子的機會更少，因此，他們放棄了更少的機會。這將在季后賽中帶來更多（任何！）的成功。

But there was always a hitch with that plan.

但是這個計劃總是有一個障礙。

A team that had struggled to score in the playoffs with a more explosive style of offence was now deciding, essentially, that scoring less would be better in the end.

一支努力在季后賽中以更爆炸性的進攻方式得分的球隊現在決定，從本質上講，最終得分較低。

The Leafs were making the margins for victory slimmer than before that way. More chances to win or lose 2-1 games than blow teams away 5-1. And if their power play went cold, well, trouble might strike. And of course, the power play has gone 0-7 in the last two losses, failing to score when they needed to in Game 5, especially.

葉子的勝利邊緣比以前比以前更苗條。比以5-1擊敗球隊贏得或輸掉2-1場比賽的機會更多。而且，如果他們的力量發作變冷，那麼麻煩可能會遇到麻煩。當然，在過去的兩次損失中，強力比賽已經取得了0-7的成績，尤其是在第5場比賽中需要得分。

The Leafs have had only one consistently dangerous line against the Sens, and that’s been the top unit of Knies, Matthews and Marner. It was mostly one-and-done in Game 5.

葉子對感官只有一條始終如一的危險線，這是刀具，馬修斯和馬納的頂級單位。在第5場比賽中大部分是一勞永逸的。

Not having Matthews at 100 percent is obviously no small detail in the five-on-five struggles.

在五對五對鬥爭中，沒有100％的馬修斯的細節顯然不是很小的細節。

The greatest five-on-five scorer in hockey before this season struggled all season to produce there, finishing with a career-low (by far) 15 goals. He had 38 last season.

在本賽季之前，最偉大的五對五對五對射手在整個賽季都掙扎著在那裡製作，以職業生涯低下（到目前為止）15個進球。上個賽季他有38個。

During Tuesday night’s game, Matthews had his left hand treated by Paul Ayotte, the team’s head athletic therapist. This style of play, with more point shots as well as less zone time and possession, probably isn’t helping him either.

在周二晚上的比賽中，馬修斯（Matthews）由球隊的首席運動治療師保羅·阿約特（Paul Ayotte）接受了左手治療。這種風格的比賽風格，更多的射門以及更少的區域時間和財產，也可能沒有幫助他。

But this isn’t just about Matthews.

但這不僅僅是馬修斯。

The Leafs have struggled to consistently generate quality offence this series. Too many shots from the outside and not enough from the interior of the ice. Rielly leads the team in five-on-five shot attempts against the Senators.

葉子一直在努力始終產生質量進攻這個系列。從外部拍攝太多，冰的內部還不夠。 Rielly在對參議員的五對五擊中嘗試領導球隊。
