Steady myself for the blog ahead. Ooh what a night it was. A 6-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.
A loss that should have been a resounding win for the home squad. What happened, well I'll tell you what happened. It started after both Hurricane goalies were injured into the second period. Slavin knocked out Reimer, and Kyle Clifford's collision with Mrazek in a chase for the open puck. Panic set in on the Canes bench, until a Zamboni driver for the Toronto Marlies, a 42 year man named David Ayers stepped into the cage.
And to his credit, he stopped one puck and surrendered two goals as the second period ended. CBC anchor Ron McLean asked Eliot Freidman what he thought would happen, and Elliot thought it would end badly for the Canes, likely 10-4. Oh how wrong he was, for the Leafs put in the century's worst offensive effort, and were shut out by the 42 yr old Zamboni driver, and sometimes practice goal tender completely in the third period.
Worse results include
The 200 foot shot against Toskala
The 4-2 lead in the third period against the Bruins
The Ballard "bag on the head" of Roger Neilson
And now the 42 year old Zamboni driver garnering the first star of the game.
After defeating the Pittcburgh Penguins on Thursday 4-0 , one would expect an honest effort from the Leafs. Nope, you would be sadly mistaken. Dog Sh** said Mith Marner, that's what he said of his performance.
Oh and byt he way, The Toronto Raptors called, and they would like their game ball back.
I will recover from this shame, and I hope the Leafs can too, otherwise it's stoop and scoop for the season.
