Top 10 my ass, they can't score. NYI is not a good team. They ARE lucky to not be a WC. Carolina of all teams is on their tails.

The team is not looking great, it's concerning.
The team has been fine. In fact they played a pretty dominant game against Minny just the other night, but were done in by terrible goaltending.

Tonight's game has been weird. They were arguably the better team during the first 2 periods and out-chanced the Leafs by a wide margin, but had pretty much every bounce go against them. Their inability to capitalize on multiple grade A chances also did them in tonight unfortunately. Every team has a few games like this. I'm not that worried at all. They'll bounce back and go on another run soon enough.

Now our goaltending on the other hand... that worries me.

He doesn't need waiver. And you're likely right but it won't be a causation of tonight's game.

And I don't think hell be on the farm for long either. He and Valimaki and Dube will up here for the playoffs.

Do you think the leafs played different when up by a bunch? They sat back and made the Flames look good. I hope you are right about them just having a slump. Problem is, not many on the team are looking good right now.

In the most accurate sense of the word, if you were truly embarrassed, you would say nothing!

Got it
Course the islanders are the only top 10 team they’ve played lately but they don’t count because of your ass?

Yes, that's it. So happy you were able to piece it together.
