A great example of how hard it is to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs could be seen in yesterday’s Toronto Sun.
Look, I understand that this season hasn’t gone according to anyone’s expectations, but can we all just get a grip?
The Leafs are 4-3 under Sheldon Keefe, and that includes three losses against three goalies who performed miraculously. It also includes a seven game stretch where the Leafs are shooting under 7% at 5v5 and have only three power-play goals. (All stats naturalstattrick.com).
These are not excuses for losing.
