ROUGH START TO ROAD TRIP

Last night the Leafs were handed many firsts of this young season and if it was going to happen I guess why not it be the defending Stanley Cup Champions have. Let’s get started on that list of firsts. It was their first road game of the season, which resulted in their first road loss and also their first loss in regulation.  How many more firsts can there be you ask yourself? I will continue. It was Gustavsson’s first start of the season and what a lot of people expected to happen did. The tem did not look confident in from of him and they got pounded 6-2. Bringing another first of the season, the most goals surrendered by the team thus far. Some bright spots if you can say there were any in a 6-2 loss were that Kadri was in the line up and looked pretty good out there. Finishing with 13 minutes of ice time, his first point of the season coming on Steckel’s goal and a plus 1 rating on the night. Looking forward to Saturday hopefully we can see some more first, such as The Maple Leafs winning their first road game of the season. Also I would like to see them kick The Habs ass again for the 2nd time this month. As a Leafs fan you can’t tell me it’s not a little bit more fun at work on a Monday after a Leafs win against The Canadians on Saturday night.   Check back soon for a pre-game report and always catch the Leafs talk Radio 5 minutes after the final buzzer at http://m.blogtalkradio.com/leafs-talk-radio/2011/10/22/toronto-maple-leafs-post-game-show   Written By: Stephen Marshall
