the stretch run

The Leafs are now in the homestretch as they race toward the golf course and working on their handicaps. The boys came back from the Olympic break with a whimper (as expected) courtesy of a 5-1 drubbing by the Carolina Hurricanes at the ACC last night, allowing five straight goals before John Mitchell finally got one back for the Blue & White. Our record now stands at a sparkling 19-32-11, 49 points, which is good enough for last in the Eastern Conference and second-to-last in the NHL (the lowly Oilers have 44 points). Being a Leafs fan is excruciating.

Stay tuned for my post-trade deadline thoughts...
