NOTHING ENCAPSULATES how badly things have been going for the Toronto Maple Leafs – and their legion of masochistically loyal fans – quite like this awful goal from last night’s game against the Buffalo Sabres.
This is the same hapless (hopeless? useless?) goaltender, Vesa Toskala, who was responsible for this stinker last season:
Toskala is not solely responsible for the Maple Leafs’ struggles. He’s a big part of the problem, but the blame can be spread pretty evenly around the locker room.
If you’re not a fan of hockey – Canadians’ only reason for living in wintertime – the Leafs are hockey’s Boston Red Sox circa 2003. The team hasn’t won a Stanley Cup since 1967.
And with goaltending like that, Lord Stanley’s mug ain’t coming back to Toronto any time soon.
