Toronto Maple Leafs

On a night in which the Leafs couldn't string together two consecutive passes they still managed to earn a valuable point losing in overtime to the Colorado Avalanche. Just over a minute into the extra frame David Jones knocked in his fourth goal to give the Avs the 3-2 victory. Toronto was sloppy from the opening moment of the game, and if the Avalanche had been able to hit the net tonight they would have won this game easily. 

After a scoreless first period both Jean Sebastian Giguere and James Reimer were guilty of some weak goaltending in the second. Giguere was caught leaning the wrong way, and in all too familiar moment he allowed a Phil Kess...

Dion Phaneuf, who is often referred to by his teammates as a horse on the blue line, had a difficult time regaining the form that made him a Norris candidate during his tenure in Calgary. While Dion had struggled in the first half of his first season as captain, his game in the second half was not to be forgotten.

Tonight's game will be the first this season for Clarke MacArthur having served his two game suspension to begin the season. MacArthur being back will be a significant boost to the Leafs. His chemistry with Nikolai Kulemin and Mikhail Grabovski is a major strength for the young Buds. Matt Frattin will ...

For the first fifty minutes of the Leafs and Senators game the boys in blue and white dominated. Building up a 5-1 lead with about ten minutes left in the third, everything was lollipops and teddy bears for Leaf fans. However that's when the wheels fell off. Daniel Alfredsson scored two goals, while Jason Spezza and Stephen Da Costa added singles to almost steal points out of a game that they were completely absent from. For the last few seasons the Leafs have been the masters of these late, improbable scoring sprees after the game was out of reach. Like the Senators tonight, the Leafs usually fell short. It's nice to be on the winning side of these games...
