Oh, did you hear the Leafs were blown out again last night. The 7th blow out of the season with the worst losses coming at home:
Oct. 9: 7-1 v. Carolina
Oct. 29: 7-1 v. Washington
Nov. 6: 5-1 at Ottawa
Nov. 24: 5-1 at Phoenix
Dec. 29: 6-1 v. NY Rangers
Jan. 9: 5-0 at Anaheim
Feb. 5: 8-0 v. Florida
I said at the start of the season that the Leafs have the worst defense in the league and have been proven correct over and over again. Ignore what these players are paid, just look at performance. In his post game interview Mats said, "Everyone who wore the sweater should be ashamed of the way we played." After a loss like this, they should also be ready to be traded. Fletcher may have to play the heavy and threaten any player who refuses a trade with being put on waivers and demoted to the Marlies. Playing for Carolina has to be better than bus trips to Albany and Binghampton.
