Leafs Need To Forget This Game Ever Happened

How many times have you seen this start to a game before?  Leafs down 3-0 to the visiting team in the first period.  After the third goal, I am certain most of Leaf Nation were tempeted to turn away from the game or even exit the building.  If you stuck around, you are thanking yourself because this game turned out to be a wild one not seen at the ACC ever.  Four power play goals in one period, a new record for the Maple Leafs.

Grabo backhands pass and misses unsuspecting Kessel.  Grabo also bumps into Komisarek after pass.

Beauchemin and Komisarek let both Nashville players sneak behind them leading to Nashville goal

Tootoo skating hard to get open.

Nashville supporting the puck very well.

Tootoo has excellent speed and hands and puts on a display.  Lebda put himself out of position earlier.  Aulie played the puck rather than the man and missed.

(Giguere lets in soft goal, despite defensive blunder)

Grabo will bring the fans to their feet on many nights...

Grabo gets assist on Nashville goal.

Lebda is the more offensive minded player with Aulie, but that is no excuse to get beat clean by Nashville player.  Especially when that player is Steve Sullivan!  Giguere make huge save!

Schenn showing more confidence with the puck.  If Schenn can improve his offensive game he will be a force in Toronto.  Schenn is already very solid on the defensive side most nights.

Lebda is a high risk, high reward type player.  The problem Leaf Nation have seen more risk than reward.

Give Wilson credit for using Versteeg on the point for the Power Play.  Versteeg is good defensively and better than any Leaf defender on the PP.

Using Versteeg on the point for the Power Play was brilliant.  Versteeg can shoot from the slot with accuracy when he played in Chicago.

Love the point shot by Aulie.  Very impressed with Orr stick deflection.  Unfortunate that the ref caught Brown interference on Rinne.

Grabo needed this goal to redeem himself.

MacArthur behind the net is proving lethal.

Nice awareness by Kulemin.

Great save by Gustavsson, despite going into the game cold.
