Leafs lose 4th in a row to division opponent.
Up until the American holiday the Leafs had been playing well and getting some wins. The team looked much improved from the start of the season. Now after 4 division games and a long weekend the Leafs have crashed back down to earth. After earning only 1 point in 3 games with Buffalo (an OT loss), the Leafs continued their poor play by losing 4-2 to the Bruins.
The positives: Cechmanek's play wasn't inconsistent, as he got the night off. Henrik Lundqvist played well in his 2nd start of the year, but it wasn't enough.
The negatives: Leafs suck of late. Injuries to the defense have upset the chemistry that was starting to develop. Word is Andrei Zyuzin may return soon which will be a big help.
