About The Toronto Maple Leafs
The good news is that Toronto has eleven players with 20 or more points at this point in the season, and that is with offseason acquisition Phil Kessel (36 goals last season) having only played in 42 games, and looking to make an impact as a scorer once he gets fully acclimated again after offseason shoulder surgery. Kessel will most likely get back on track over the second part of the season, as snipers always do.
In the meantime, defenseman Tomas Kaberle is atop the scoring charts, leading Toronto with 42 points and 37 assists, in addition to his 5 goals. Leading the Leafs on top of the goals list is leftwing Niklas Hagman with 20 to go along with his 13 assists, and ranking him fourth on the team with 33 points. With nine other players having scored over 20+ points, including Kessel (31), this team seems to have the makings of a very balanced offensive attack, if they can get the right mix together for the rest of the season.
A major area of improvement for Toronto needs to come between the pipes, where the Leafs has used three different keepers, and none of which have provided great results. Number one and number two have pretty much shared the duties evenly, with Jonas Gustavson (9-12-8, 2.98 GAA, .901 save %) playing in 30 and Vesa Toskala (7-11-2, 3.64 GAA, .874 save %) seeing time in 24, while Joey MacDonald (1-4-0, 3.20 GAA, .892 save %) has seen action in six. At least one of these guys must step up and take ownership and responsibility for the position if Toronto has any chance to improve during the second half of the season.
With fans amongst the most passionate and supportive in the history of the NHL, tickets for the Toronto Maple Leafs are required for any true supporter. Order some now, take your seat, and cheer for this team to turn things around in time for the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Well, it looks like the days of a losing and uninspired Toronto Maple Leafs may be over and a new era of hockey for the team has begun. With the addition of Brian Burke to the team, they are a rough and ready to rumble team. The defense has been upgraded not only with muscle, but with defensive play as well. New additions Komisarek and Beauchemin look to add grit and skill to the team and the Toronto Maple Leafs ticket holders will have a team they can be proud of again. The 2009-2010 season looks to be promising for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
