According to tsn the 'Hawks are starting Lalime tonight, making it 5 straight games that the Leafs have faced a back-up goalie. Is this a coincidence, or do you guys think that opposing coaches are looking at the Leafs offense and viewing it as an easy, back-up worthy night? I'm thinking that it must be the former... the Leafs may not be a powerhouse, but they're a far cry from being a "weak" team.

At the other end of the ice, Raycroft is getting the nod for Toronto. I'm hoping that he keeps the crowd quiet (an odd thing to say going in to a home game, isn't it?).

I'm so sick and tired of this team playing 40 minutes in a 60 minute game.

They are all meant to be sarcastic fun.

I just don't understand the draw to this team? I'm talking about TV and radio, not the fans. Year after year, it's the same crap.

im disgusted by this defense... 6 goals allowed!!?? WHAT IS THIS CRAP!??

most goals scored in the NHL

if you have that title you shouldnt be losing so much. 6-4 loss... do they leafs expect to score 7 goals every game???

Do I blame Raycroft? no, if i do, I should also blame Toskala for last saturday's copy of this game 6-4 loss, up 3-1, leafs just blew their lead so easily...

I dont see this team making the playoffs this year, after watching the number of neccesary games, I predict no playoffs this year and the dismissal of john ferguson jr.

also i would like to comment raycroft was no sharp at all during the 3rd, he was very average, he was terrific for the first 2 periods, but not good during the 3rd. The defense infront of him was 10x worse, they seem to just become so careless and become so soft.

Also I'd like to say the defense throughout the game was weak as well, hawks got through the blue line so easily and got shots through very easily.

Sure they give up goals in the 3rd very easily, however 38.6 average shots against per game, that comes from all 3 periods, not a single 5 minutes, therefore the all around defense is garbage, and seems to completely have its presence disappear in the 3rd.

Year after year of Toronto losing.

Two years in a row of missing the playoffs. Ever since Pat Quinn went to Toronto, things really haven't been the same.

Last year they had Peca to be they're savour, to bad he broke his leg and was no help what so ever, but did they do anything to fix the situation, NO.

This year they go out and get Toskala and Blake, big deal, if there's no defense, what's the point? And top everything off, most of the team has a no trade clause, so how can things really change any time in the near future?

If they would get rid of JFJ, that would be a good start!!!
