from Mike Brophy of Sportsnet,
In Toronto, where president and GM Brian Burke spent the summer overhauling his defence, his Maple Leafs lost twice and allowed 10 goals. His two prized pickups, Mike Komisarek and Francois Beauchemin, played poorly. Even worse for Leaf fans, returning goaltender Vesa Toskala struggled and some want to hang him from the CN Tower.
Take a deep breath people, there’s plenty of hockey left. With a short training camp, coach Ron Wilson did not have much of an opportunity to implement a defensive system. The Leafs can’t be this bad, can they?
The reigning Western Conference champion Detroit Red Wings dropped a pair to the upstart St. Louis Blues and already people in Motown are harping that the goaltending is no good. Let’s give the Blues a little credit here. They had an outstanding second half last season and simply picked up where they left off.
more plus some Oilers and Emery talk too…
