The Lee Stempniak era is underway in Toronto. It was another dud and we've now lost twice as many games as we've won. The plan is coming together.
What plan? you're likely wondering to yourself. The plan was to shed the veterans and overpaid (Sundin, McCabe, Tucker, Raycroft), lose the failed experiments and underachievers (Wellwood, Steen, Colaiacovo), get Brian Burke and have a shitty season resulting in a sweet draft pick.
I love it when a plan comes together.
| Current Record | Last Games | Season Leaders |
|---|---|---|
| 7-10-4 19 points 4th in Northeast Division |
6-3 Loss vs. Atlanta 5-4 Loss vs. Chicago 3-2 Loss vs. Boston |
M. Stajan - 20 N. Antropov - 16 T. Kaberle- 15 |
I've never understood the wish to lose, especially when your team has never drafted or developed talent well. Burke's priority should be to build your development program first and foremost, and he will trade for a big tough defenseman.
Wait for the quotes Mike - he will be fun...if you can find it, Burke's tirade on "what Sedin means" is a classic.
