It took him a long time to get over the loss of the Thornhill Thunderbirds.

Nik, you are many things, but confused is not one of them.

His mystery is only exceeded by his power.
Tonight was worse than the Boston game. I am starting to think they really are this bad, but early on a hot hand by Kessel and decent play by Reimer allowed the Leafs to win a few that today they would be losing. Now, no one is scoring and no one is stopping.
The team looks lousy out there and who/what do you blame? The goalies aren't getting much help, but the team likely isn't playing with a lot of confidence in front of these .860 goalies either.
Bleh! I was hoping they were better than this.

So why do a few poor games tell you so much more than the good games where they won?
Potvin29 said:
If they played solidly through their wins and also through their losses but maybe just didn't get the chances or whatever then we could be encouraged. Hey guys, you know, they are playing solidly and just didn't get the chances in the past two games, but if they keep playing like they are they will be fine.......... this isn't that.
This is some really suspect wins, starting with Game 1, and then some terrible losses stacked on top of that. No one is scorting, goaltending is atrocious, PK is even worse - they look lethagic for long stretches of games (including again tonight).
I just do not see a reason to be encouraged by this team right now. In fact I see no reason to believe that they are not about to go into a dive. I hope not... but what I am seeing doesn't look good.

But you've been spreading almost nothing but doom and gloom anyways, so you're probably at the extreme of the expectations, just like I am predominantly positive so I am probably not the best to look to either.
The truth is probably somewhere in between.

We haven't even heard an update from Reimer and our goaltending is burying us and yet we focus on Tim Connolly. We knew he had a history of injury and we bought him for nothing. I don't understand the hate here, since he was pretty much the only option left during free agency. I'd rather have him play 50 games than 0.
I know I am getting ahead of myself but Martin Biron is a free agent this summer. He will have just turned 35 so he would probably be a perfect compliment/backup. Heck he could probably even push Reimer for the starting job.
Either way, he probably won't be too expensive, has a career 911 SV%, and can handle a hefty workload if need be. We won't have to marry him to a long term deal either. I think 2 years would probably be very good for both sides.
I think it's clear that Gus is starting to run out of track here. Still a lot of hockey left and a lot can happen but right now, I'm hoping Biron makes it to free agency and we make a move for him.

Might be some grasping at straws here but what about recalling Zigomanis to play on the 4th line. He's a very good faceoff guy and should help the PK. God knows the PK needs all the help it can get and Zigo's been known to be pretty good in that area.
It's no long term solution or anything but might provide a little help right now and give the PK a jolt. I'd rather have Zigo's faceoffs and PK ability in then Rosehills nothing ability.
