Toronto's favourite team the Leafs are again in a tailspin with indifferent play since Nylanders return. Got a wonder what the future holds as Gardiner was booed off the ice and more importantly the Leafs are 1-12-1 when trailing after 2 periods. Sure tell sign that their team game is a miss and the primadonna's are too busy padding their stats.
Time is now for a significant trade to upgrade the defence and just maybe shock the team into winning a few puck battles.Hopefully Vancouver steps up or else the lull will continue and TSN's ratings will take a beating.
I thought as soon as they caved and way overpaid for Nylander the Stanley cup dream In Toronto died. Nylander predictably got his fortune (most of it was paid in Bonus) and now couldn't care less about the Stanley cup or the team and looks like a decent AHL player at best. They now don't have cap room to pay a guy who plays like Nylander was supposed to (Kapanen) and getting Matthews and Marner signed will take up all the cap room. They better get some D men from the Marlies for next year because Gardiner and Hainsey will have to be let go to make cap space No real loss on either one). They are stuck with Marleau for another year at $6.25 with an NTC. Their only hope of some $ to spend on the Defense is if he agrees to leave and go play with a non playoff team that can take on his cap hit like Vancouver. But why would he do that?
