the worst in 90 years...

Worst start to a season, that is. With our dismal 7-2 loss to the Rangers tonight the Leafs are off to a 0-4-1 start, are 30th in the NHL standings, are last in goals against, and are frankly just completely sucking. I actually thought this season I'd be able to hold my head up proudly and say that I supported a team with some guts, but instead I want to bury my head in the sand and pretend that I'd never fallen in love with the Blue & White. Our goaltending is shambles, our defense is poor, and there isn't a damn player who can score a bloody goal!!!! We were utterly walked on by the Rangers tonight and it was 100% deserved! Something has to change and fast! My first suggestion would be to bench Toskala and find a goalie who can stand up to some shots (Jonas Gustavsson, I'm looking at you!) and then perhaps look to the Marlies for some inspiration (Bozak, Christian Hanson, anybody?).

This team has been an embarrassment so far...


We'll see what happens tomorrow when they face the Avs at the ACC...

The Monster's looked good. Something positive to take thus far.

But the season is still young. Your posts concern me. I made a shoutout to it in my latest post on Sens Central!

I saw that and have commented in kind on your Sens blog. I realize that the season is still young, but to me not having one win to show for yourselves in five games is a concern...
