Game 5: Maple Leafs @ Rangers - Saturday January 26th, 2013 - CBC 19:00

-3 for each now. So, yeah, they're losing most of their battles down low but give them credit, they're losing a lot of battles down low.
 
4 unanswered, another lead blown. Sigh

Word is going to be out that leaf leads aren't safe, but one could've guessed that with our goaltending

None of the goals directly their fault.  But whatever, the end result is obviously not good enough.

Goaltending is the last thing I'd blame for tonight's loss.

Both of the last two goals came seconds after Phaneuf and Kostka lost battles down low. They didn't shoot the pucks into the net themselves, no, but they're playing mediocre defense. That they're playing 25+ minutes of mediocre defense doesn't make it any better.

They were much better than mediocre for the first half of the game.  Then I jinxed them by saying they were my picks so far.
 
Any of their "Top 3" would instantly be the best player on the Leafs.....and it wouldn't even be close.

I didn't expect them to compete in this game because of the massive talent disparity. Just hope blowing another 2-goal lead doesn't mess with their psyche.
 
They tried really hard in the last minute there. Should help on the shot clock.
