Back to Earth with a loss to Columbus who desperately needed to put in a better showing than their previous 2 games (both 7-2 losses).

It's official: Matthews has been out with concussion symptoms. Hopefully this leads to a Crosby-like career (i.e. Cups) and not a Brett Lindros type career (i.e. a blip in NHL history).

RIP Johnny Bower. Died yesterday at 93. One of the most popular Leafs of all time. He helped them to their last Stanley Cup in '67, his 4th championship with the team.

Leafs win in Matthews' home state of Arizona. His mom is a good looking woman.

Lose to the Avs. Vegas on New year's Eve.

Anyone still doubt Vegas is for real? Looks like they'll make the playoffs although I think their home record will take a hit once visiting teams will see it more than once.

Shutout by the NHL's top dog, TB. Kadri hasn't scored a point in a career worst 12 straight games.

They'll make the playoffs because their division sucks but I don't know how far they'll go once they're there. Their team defense sucks right now.

Kadri hasn't scored in a month. Matthews missed time with concussion symptoms. Nylander and Marner not as consistent as last year. It looks like teams are just as fast as them too.

Kadri scores in a nice win over San Jose in a SO. He also got into a fight with Thornton to start the game and ripped off some of Joe's beard.

Another SO win, this one over the Canucks. Probable ROY Boeser(sp?) looked really good.

Blow 2 goal lead late against Columbus in a way reminiscent of previous years. On a positive note, they still got a point.

Uh oh another late loss, this time against the Sens.

Leafs have the blues. Third game in a row blowing a late lead and losing, this one in OT against St. Louis.

Fourth game in a row where they blow a third period lead-- all ending in losses. Somehow they can't score when they have a chance to put teams away and their defensive lapses end up costing them every time. Trying to stay positive, they did get a point out of Philly.

Turn the tables on Ottawa in the third to win. Maybe this team is built to come from behind rather than hold a lead.

Effing lose to the Avs at home. No shame in that; the Avs have won 10 straight and are 2 wins away from tying their longest streak ever.
