Leafs VS Flyers (1-4)

The Leafs have won 3 straight against the Flyers and will look to continue that tonight. However they are without there 2nd line center Mikhael Grabovski as he has been suspended for 3 games because of the incident against the Canadiens. Toskala for the Leafs Biron for the Flyers.

1st period: Wow Leaf fans Jeff Carter getting all those chances sure makes you unhappy huh? Anyways Vesa Toskala looks extremely shaky again and while he did make some nice saves I truly feel he may be fighting the puck. His confidence seems very low right now and it is showing. The Leafs started the period at a good pace but kind of slipped at the end of it. Really nice setup for Mike Richards goal but Toskala should of had his stick in the path of the pass.

2nd Period: Toskala looked a 100 times better, not as shaky. The Leafs outplayed Philadelphia for the most part but still had few errors that they need to fix in the third. Let's hope for more of the same physical play in the the third period.

3rd Period: You know I debated all night if I should write about the 3rd period and then I thought to myself I owe to you guys. But what a debacle the Leafs just slipped away in the 3rd and didn't even try to get going after the 3rd goal was scored by Philly. I think it is time to start dumping bodies and Burke needs to do it now this season is a write off and they aren't going to make the playoffs. Hopefully Burke reads this and sees we have had enough.
