It’s been a while since my last post, and for that I apologize. Since the Montreal win, our Leafs have won 3 and lost 2. The 3 wins were good ones; taking down behemoth Detroit, a tight fought battle against Boston, and last nights 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets. As for the losses, the 1-0 shutout loss to Buffalo was tightly played by both sides… Buffalo just happened to come out on top. The Islanders game was a different story. A team, like the Leafs, that dwells at the bottom of the league in special teams can in now way take so many penalties and expect to be successful. The Leafs lost that game for themselves.

Last night against Columbus was a game that the Leafs should have won. And they did. So congrats. That being said, this game could have went either way. Columbus is fighting for a playoff spot, and if they are successful, will mark the first time in team history they have accomplished that feat. A loss to the lowly Leafs does not look good in their players, coaches, and fans eyes. One reporter this morning (sorry, can’t remember who) stated that last nights game just might spell the end of Columbus’ season. That in turn means that any team should be able to beat the Maple Leafs on any given night. Didn’t the Leafs just beat three of the league’s top teams? Those games show us the Leafs are the ones that should be able to beat any team on any given night. The fact that Columbus lost to Toronto doesn’t spell the end of their season. It just means they are currently lumped in with Ottawa, Montreal and Detroit. Three pretty good teams.
