For those of you who watched last night's game, you will know that the Leafs lost yet another game in Overtime. However, the Leafs had over 61 shots on goal! A tie for their record for most shots on goal in a game...however when they set that record, they beat the Detroit Red Wings, 8-0; in last night's game: they lost 4-3 in OT.
The problem is secondary scoring! Not that the goaltending was great last night, however Toskala is improving and Gustavsson can only get better, the Leafs need another guy to finish. Kessel is doing great, however he cannot carry this team.
Rumors are Brian Burke is in the works of making a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks. Chicago will be in salary cap trouble next season. Rumors are it will be Brent Sopel leaving the Blackhawks. Brian Burke essentially, will be selling cap space. Hey, whatever works. Sopel is a solid defenseman, he won't give you many points, but with 164 career assists, you may see him throw the puck to Kessel once in a while. Perhaps he would work well with Komisarek, or Schenn.
But who on Toronto would be heading to Chicago?
Lee Stempniak - A speedy player again, however since coming to Toronto, he's done nothing. He is good in shootouts, maybe he will play well on a line with Toews and Kane.
Rickard Wallin- Signed by the Leafs as a free agent this season. He has not produced anything. However, he is a solid two-way player, and Chicago may find some use for him.
Anyways, that's all for now, hopefully Burkie will do SOMETHING to shake things up. Until next time, Go Leafs Go.
