LEAFS POSTGAME – INJURED LEAFS GET DESTROYED BY MORE INJURED TEAM
9 years ago
With Lupul, Kadri, and Holland injured, not many people expected them to go on a 10 game winning streak. Expectations were low. But they weren’t this low.
Quite frankly, this game was pathetic.
THE RUNDOWN
This says it all. The Leafs were bad all game long. They generated nothing. Even still, they opened the scoring tonight, with Santorelli knocking a puck out of the air two-minutes into the 2nd.
This will be the only video because it was the only Leafs highlight worth showing.
After that, Winnipeg scored five straight goals, which is what will happen when you get out-everything’d by a team by a wide margin. This recap doesn’t even need fancy stats or even fancy sentences – the Leafs were bad.
And since the Leafs put forth that kind of effort tonight, and refuse to acknowledge the obvious problems that they have, I’m going to put forth the same kind of effort into this postgame, and refuse to acknowledge my problems as a writer. Because I have none. (See, it’s working already).
The Leafs are now 2-7-0 in their last nine.
BLUE WARRIOR
Well, Winnipeg wears blue so I’m giving it to Dustin Byfuglien, who was amazing tonight (1 G, 1A). What makes him even more impressive is that almost the entirety of Winnipeg’s normal defence core is injured.
NOTES
Oh, and #FireCarlyle.
See You Wednesday
The Leafs host the Capitals at 7PM EST. Maybe they’ll have a few new players or a new coach by then. That’d be nice.
