Maple Leafs 1, Capitals 7

Leafs

This anonymous note came through my contact form late last night.  "Can't wait for your TML update tomorrow. Absolute SHIT in all respects, pardon my lingo. Go Raptors Go".  That about sums it up.

It was humiliating.  If our job was to make the Capitals look good, we succeeded, as five of them got their first goal of the season in this pathetic excuse for an NHL-calibre effort.  When Alexander Ovechkin scored the goal to put the Caps up 6-1, I turned the game off.  I simply couldn't stomach anymore.  When the Leafs come home, things get bleak.

  • We've won only three times in nine games at home
  • This was our second 7-1 loss at home
  • We've allowed an NHL-high 51 goals this season
  • We can't blame this one on Bryan McCabe

And yes, I wrote "we".  Deal with it.
