When it came to scoring, Mike Santorelli opened the scoring in the second on a nice give-and-go with James Van Riemsdyk - then it was all Winnipeg - T.J. Galiardi, Matt Halischuk, Dustin Byfuglien, Bryan Little, and Ben Chiarot. When it came to possession, it started with Winnipeg and

Four tallies, and despite getting their fair share of the shots, only one of them fell to the Leafs. Kyle Brodziak stopped a puck into the goal, Cody Franson scored a nice shot from the high slot during a Leafs 5-on-3, Jared Spurgeon rips a heavy shot past

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! The Flyers stink this year, but so does Carolina and we know how that one ended. Anywho, hoping for best before the Leafs begin a looooong road trip.

Toronto looked ugly while visiting Carolina, and Bernier wasn't able to cover it up well enough this time, despite his best efforts.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jonathon Bernier stood strong on 40 of 42 shots while the Leafs managed to convert six of their 27 on two different goalies. Tyler Bozak, Joffrey Lupul, David Booth, and Nazem Kadri each scored one for the Leafs while Phil Kessel lit the lamp twice. The Ducks got a short
