I don't know what to say. I honestly thought this team was better then October showed. I really thought that Ron Wilson would turn this team around and that the month of November would be a good one for the Leafs.
Sadly, after two great wins, the team has sunk back into the hole they started to climb out of. It looked promising. Seeing the Leafs beat the Red Wings in the way they did was very encouraging. Then, the Leafs were stomped on by Minnesota and Calgary and lost close games to Ottawa and Chicago.
The most recent loss is the straw that broke the camels back for me. The Leafs had a 3 goal lead over a struggling Hurricanes team and let them come back. Then, the Leafs had the lead late and allowed Carolina to tie the game with just 2.9 seconds left - another recurring theme in this NHL season for the Blue & White.
Phil Kessel has been a spark for the team, but no one around him has ignited. Jonas Gustavsson is looking less like a monster and more like a human, while Toskala is still Toskala.
I am still going to watch, but I am starting to feel like this season is a wash.
i think the only thing they can do now is to just play all the kids and hope for the best.
