Am I over critical of the Leafs? Most likely. I can't help but feel very disappointed, even though they are 4-1-1. Here is my "realistic" blog post, although I'd say most would call this a pessimistic view. Not focusing on the positives at all tonight.
The Bad:
Special Teams: Same story every friggin' year. Power play sucks. Penalty kill sucks. Every year. The players change, but the results stay the same. What is the problem? Ron Wilson. His specialty teams are horrible. After so many roster changes, it cannot be just blamed on the players. Ron Wilson is the problem.
Cody Franson - Playing just as bad as Mike Komisarek. What are you doing out there? Slow, lack proper decision making skills and very soft on the body. He has shown absolutely nothing at all. Hopefully he is packaged and traded to a team who needs a dman.
Mike Komisarek - A scrub. Can't skate; takes bad penalties, and is constantly out of defensive position. Shown nothing in his two years as a Leaf. Horrible signing, horrible contract.
Jonas Gustavsson - Giving up over 3.5 goals per game his last 15 starts. He won't be resigned because he underachieves. He is not a "Monster."
Thankfully, James Reimer will be back in net Saturday. Hopefully Keith Aulie is called up to replace both of the defensive scrubs. As for the special teams...well, that won't change until Wilson is gone.
