After what was a pretty damn good effort from the rest of the Leafs tonight, including a last minute goal from Phil Kessel to tie the game, the crowd at the ACC was let down by the primary weakness that has plagued this team since the lockout: its goaltending. While Jonas Gustavsson made one or two big saves in the 3rd period to keep the Leafs in it, had he been able to keep his legs shut on goals 2 and 3, the opportunity for him to whiff as bad as he did on the game-winner in overtime wouldn’t have even been presented. This is not to say that the Leafs were perfect tonight, but they deserved better than what they got.

The Good

  • After a brutal road trip, it was great to see the Leafs get off to a quick start, peppering Martin Brodeur early, and getting a good forecheck going. The MGK line in particular was off and running, and kept that momentum all night long. (more…)

Leafs Need To Find Answers Within, Not On Trade Market - Editor In Leaf - Editor In Leaf - A Toronto Maple Leafs Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

]]> Sorry for the long break – between a much-needed vacation and coming down with a nasty bug, I’ve thankfully had more pressing concerns than the Leafs’ unfortunate road trip through Western Canada last week, and I even managed to miss the debacle on Mats Sundin Night, the first Leaf game I’d missed all season. Of course, in the meantime, there’s been all kinds of Leaf-related news popping up, starting with the somewhat ridiculous Rick Nash trade rumors. Jeff Mullen had a great post up here the other day about why Nash is not the answer to the Leafs’ current problems, and I have to agree with him. While there’s certainly no real downside to adding a star-quality player like Nash to the roster (other than what you’d have to pay to get him), what was evidenced against the Flames and Canucks this past week was a real lack of defense and solid goaltending.
