I am not buying into the Toronto media hype.
Should they be off to a better start? Absolutely.
But, Tampa is off to a similar start, so are the Cats. So are Pittsburgh, Washington amd the Rangers. So is St. Louis. Edmonton I though would be off to a better start too.
I am not going to suggest the Leafs should have won a few games given the soft schedule, but 10 games in and the media is hitting panic buttons.
I am hitting a panic button over Murray and Kallgren. I think hitting that button is legit. Samsonov has been quite solid. Kallgren is 0-3 with a sub .900 save percentage. If he was capable of taking 2 out of the 3 games in San Jose,Arizona or Anaheim, we aren't having this discussion.
Instead.... the team is weak. The team lacks character.
No folks. The team lacks an effin' backup that can win a game or two.
