Well the Leafs finally put one in the win column, beating the Thrashers 5-3. This Leafs team is actually pretty good against the playoff teams in our conference, but for some reason we're a mess against the lower teams and the west.
Patrick Marleau returned from injury and recorded 3 points. The first line of Smyth-Marleau-Torres, reunited after being broken up do to injuries to Marleau and Datsyuk, had a great night. Turco was good enough and the Leafs PP finally put a few in the net.
The only bad thing is the 2nd line was a -2 at even strength and the 3rd line was a -1.
Let's see if the Leafs can keep it up as we enter the xmas break
