Leafs VS Panthers (4-5)

1st Period: Good first for the Leafs they did lose a but of momentum for a while but quickly got is back for the goal scored by Niklas Hagman. Toskala looks sharp tonight as he made a great play deflecting the puck out of harms way with his blocker and than made a great save by stacking the pads. Grabovski had a solid hit on Bouwmeester as well something I am very surprised to see from such a small guy.

2nd Period: Jamal Mayers has his 1st in 32 games and Niklas Hagman has his 2nd of the game. Really unfortunate bounce on the Panthers goal. Ian White did not box out McClean and that lead to the puck deflecting in off of him. The PP and the PK look very solid tonight something that hasn't been seen in a while should be "Hopefully" a great defensive 3rd.

3rd Period: So we got anything but a good defensive effort! With the help of some phantom calls by the ref and also some non-calls the Leafs let the lead slide away. To OT we go.

OT Period: Ah ha ha ha ha ha!!! Another blown lead something the Leafs were famous for last year and now this year too. They lost the same game basically what I would call a mirror image to the same team they played tonight a week ago. Poor efforts lead to poor results and this is something that needs to be addressed for the rest of the season and during the offseason with some free agent signings.
