Maple Leafs find ways to waste decent effort on Long Island

We’ll share points after every game throughout the Toronto Maple Leafs season.

Even despite losing 11 times now on the season, we haven’t been able to say this many times this season. But tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs were beaten by a better team.

Yeah, the New York Islanders don’t quite have the top-end talent to match the Leafs. And yeah, they were caved in territorially for long stretches in this one. But by the end, through their sound defensive structure and special teams dominance, the Islanders proved to be the superior side, beating Toronto 5-4 in Uniondale on Wednesday night.
