Recap: Lightning 4 at Leafs 1

This game started off pretty well, Stempniak banged home a pass in front of the net to put the Leafs up 1-0 in the first. In the second period Martin Gerber showed up to play when he stoned Martin St. Louis on a breakaway. Shortly thereafter, Kulemin turned the puck over at the blue line setting up a Matt Pettinger goal that barely squeaked over the line.
Then the Leafs had a series of questionable calls against them, but calls nonetheless and allowed a cross crease bang in goal from Stamkos to St. Louis, and a period later Ryan Malone banged in Tampa's second power play goal. With 2:06 left in a 3-1 game, something familiar happened. Hometown boy Paul Szczechura sniped one past Gerber... what a great story thanks for coming home (seriously why can't you all just die and stop coming home and ruining everything?).
I had high hopes after reading Mayers' statement this morning, that maybe the Leafs would come out and skate well, but they really didn't. Sure this team has been gutted but Tampa is still below the Leafs in the standings, despite the loss of Antropov and Moore.
There's a lot to take away from this game; the Leafs need to skate for sixty minutes if they want to beat even the bottom dwellers in this league. Toronto had a few great shifts where they absolutely dominated the Lightning and then immediately gave up a goal as soon as Tampa cleared the zone. Also, it'll take more than one goal scorer to change the fortunes of a franchise - the Lightning have Lecavalier, St. Louis and Stamkos and they're in a better position for Tavares than the Leafs are. They too have no defense or goaltending.
I don't expect the Leafs to win lots of games, and to be pragmatic it's better that they lose, but tonight the most emotion I saw was Ron Wilson rolling his eyes when he got tossed at the end of the game. It's not hard to see why people didn't bother driving to the ACC to see the Leafs play the Islanders Monday.

I think the journos were purposely trying to ask slightly more intelligent hockey questions, and Ronnie – for his part – was trying not to destroy them with his devastating breath weapon answers.

Berger asking Ondrus about his run-in with Artukyn and again, he can’t ask a half-decent question: “Were you annoyed with that?” Does Berger only have two or three stock questions?
Bitter Leaf Fan: a life-long Toronto Maple Leafs fan comments on the team, the media and the exasperation...
God
Terrible. Ondrus looked like a poor guy that the media jumps on during an election that feels a certain way and is sort of uncomfortable to explain it.
He made it pretty clear that he thought that fighting would lead to increased stick work and the journos are probably happy that he followed their train of thought.
Also “he doesn’t speak a word of english so that’s a problem” is a great comment.
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
Seriously, is it so hard to just say something to him like “Tell me about the incident with Artukyn, what happened there?” Is this difficult?

I had lunch with eyebleaf today and suggested, as a tv producer, that he do a blog post on how to prep questions. Not only would it be enlightening for fans, Berger could print it out and carry it in his wallet too.

Yeah, most guys say that. She’s also a damn fine curler though. And I like that she plays an offensive game.
"So hide your passions in between the daily grind and broken dreams. The city is a drag."
She does. None of this “Let’s try to win 5-4” crap. Just run up the score and beat the crap out of ’em. I like it.

To be fair, Team Sweden all around disappointed in that game. Even Hedman was off, though I realize he was still recovering from the shoulder injury. I’m just going by Magnus’ stint in Sweden, but he may have regressed, I don’t know. He hasn’t been getting much ice time in the SEL and we’ll see what happens. But again, it’s fairly normal for rookies not get much ice time in the elite leagues in Europe. I’m still intrigued by his skills – good size with great speed, one of the best amongst draft guys, and offensive flair that is hard to teach.
I think this is where I’m going to end it, since I’m flooding this recap thread. I don’t know who still lingers here, but I can be found if people want to chat if you look hard enough (or just ask me).
