Toronto Maple Leafs Play Great and Lose – Must be Playoff Time!

It must be playoff time, because the Toronto Maple Leafs played a great game and lost.

Going up against the Hurricanes on Saturday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs had one of their best games of the season.

Unfortunately, the same can also be said about the Carolina Hurricanes goalie. And, like most goalies who save their career best for the Leafs, I don’t even know his name.

Well, I do now, and it’s Pyotr Kochetkov, and he’s the third string goalie forced into 23 games because the Hurricanes employ two other guys who make Matt Murray look as durable as Phil Kessel.
