Leafs Free Falling

The Toronto Maple Leafs lost to the San Jose Sharks 2-1 last night and that would prove costly.  The Toronto Maple Leafs lost their last playoff spot to the Florida Panthers, who were knocked down from third by the Winnipeg Jets.  

Though goaltending wasn't the issue last night, this Leafs team is 3-6-1 in their last 10, and a lot of that had to do with their goaltending.  There has been talk among Leafs fans who feel Burke should make a move for Rick Nash (if he hasn't already), but offense really isn't the issue in Ontario's capital.


The Leafs should seriously be looking into the likes of Nabokov, Harding, Bernier, Schneider, or other goaltenders who have proven (at least somewhat) that they can make a difference where Gustavsson and Riemer have not.


The Maple Leafs are playing the Washington Capitals tomorrow night, which are 2 points behind the Leafs, also fighting for the final play off spot.  With a win against the Caps, they just may be able to start a bit of a bounce back, and who knows where it will go from there?
