Boston Bruins @ Toronto Maple Leafs

Well Tyler Seguin walked into Toronto hoping they could walk out with a win, but Boston has to settle for a shoot out loss. Phil Kessel and Nazem Kadri found the back of the net in the shoot out. I caught a few minutes of the post game wrap up on Leafs TV and you could hear the fans chanting "Thank you Kessel!"

Over all I thought the whole team really pulled together to get the much needed 2 points tonight. Toronto was coming off a bad loss to Edmonton and this was just what the Leafs needed to start a road trip. But what a game that was, Tim Thomas stood on his head stopping 38 of 40 shots.

I really hope the Leafs build on this win. They've got games against two hard teams to play against in the Capitals and the Penguins. Having forward Colby Armstrong back made a huge difference in the Leafs play tonight, he added some much needed grit and presence in front of the net. I'm looking forward to the next game, hope I won't be disappointed.

On the Rebound

Well the Maple Leafs have bounced back. But how long are they going to be able to keep up the hard work? Tonight's 8 to 1 win over the New York Islanders had a redeeming feel to it after their loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Are they going to play well against Pittsburgh on Saturday?

As of now, Mats Sundin is now, officially the all time point and goal leader for the Maple Leafs. Its about time! Congratulations Mats!

What happened?

After I heard the score of tonight's game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Carolina Hurricanes, I just have to ask; what happened? The Leafs lost by a score of 7 to 1, did any of them show up for the game? And when did the new number one goalie turn into Swiss cheese?

I remember hockey before the lock out, it was good, Toronto was doing well. Now with the new rules and the salary cap, they stink! What happened to the team that I remember? I remember listening to the game at work today, and every time I actually heard the game, Carolina was on another power play. Come on, you can't win a hockey game from the penalty box.

Four games into the season and the Maple Leafs are 1-2-1. What will the next few games bring? I'm hoping a win, but if they don't do something to improve the way they place, then I'm going to be preparing for another disappointing season.
