Well...

I was hoping that, if I waited, I would have something good to say about the Leafs.

I was wrong.

Instead, I was just dissapointed again by a team that just doesn't want to compete for sixty minutes. At home against the New York Rangers, the Maple Leafs looked very good in the firs period. Although they ended the period down by a goal, they were controlling the play and limiting their mistakes. They continued to do this until half way into the second period. After seeing Henrik Lundqvist play so well for 30 minutes, the Leafs must have just given up?

It is very disheartening to have a full week to dwell on this loss. The team has just been awful in every game this season outside of the opener against Montreal. Yes, goaltending has been a major issue. However, the whole team has just played weak.

Where is the competitive spirit? Where is the drive and determination to win?

Maybe...just maybe if Gustavsson returns and makes a few big saves for this team, there will be a response. Maybe.
