I am so disappointed with the way the Leafs season has gone by the wayside. Not that I was expecting them to absolutely secure a playoff spot outright, but, to at least come very, very close, so that we could all have said that they could definitely make it the following year.
No, that didn't happen, plus, there is no guarantee that the Leafs will actually make the post-season next year either.
This team needs some fresh infusion of depth and talent in each position, be it a good puck-moving capable defenceman, a power forward, an agile winger, and a more steady, reliable experienced netminder. Without any of these, I won't have my hopes set too high for next year neither.
Speaking on the subject of goaltending, Gustavvson has established himself to be the one who is most capable of greater improvement.
Reimer? The jury is still out on him. Some say it's his new (Allaire) style (a noticeable change from last season), while others think he's
'overrated' (when comparing last season's performance to this year's).
Say what you will, but one thing's for certain...changes will be coming to this team...for better or for worse. That, is the question.
