EDM A 5-0 ROUTE OF TORONTO AND A 7-2 DRUBBING BY VAN OVER CALGARY

CGY at least has a proven goalie and a few good forwards in Iginla and Bourque.

TOR... ugh.. I am wearing a Leafs T-shirt right now, but this season is hard to take (especially after the hope of those 4 early wins)

The leafs seem like they should be better this year than last, and last year should have been better than the year before. And yet they still suck. I am starting to think it's Wilson... was he spoiled by coaching the Sharks with all that talent??

Also, what's with drafting and trading for so many Americans?

How to fix the Leafs... kidnap Sundin's children and force him to play again.

Right now, Toronto is worse; in the long run, Calgary is worse.

Calgary Flames

Kiprusoff won't be around forever. You would think with Kiprusoff in goal and the talent the Flames have on the blue line, that they would win more games. Frankly, the Flames lack the firepower they need on offense to make the game easier for Kiprusoff and the defense. The Flames have been a one-line team for years now. Barring wonderful draft picks or major signings/trades to improve the offense over the next few years, it will only get worse as Kiprusoff and Iginla age.

Toronto Maple Leafs

The Leafs will be fine in goal with Gustavsson. And despite hokee's blind hatred for Kessel, Kessel - and the trade that brought him to Toronto - is not the problem.

The Leafs have a nice colletion of players with Gustavsson, Phaneuf, Kaberle, Kessel, Kulemin, MacArthur, Schenn, Beauchemin and Komisarek. Caputi and Kadri have promise. Despite the good players the Leafs have, they are not strong in all facets of the game.

Toronto's problems lie in years of bad contracts issued by the GM, bad talent evaluation by the scouts, and bad decisions by the GM of whom to keep and whom to get rid of. Colby Armstrong is a solid third or fourth-liner; however, there is no way he's worth $3 million per season. It also doesn't help when you have Giguere accounting for $6 million against the cap. They need to move Giguere and let Gustavsson take over in goal.

Toronto will be fine and will be a playoff team again if the front office doesn't keep repeating their mistakes. They should be looking to trade Giguere (if anybody will take on his salary) and Kaberle. I know Kaberle is a great player, but the fact of the matter is that they do not need him and they are not winning with him. Trade Kaberle while you can still get a high return for him.

The Leafs' biggest problem is the front office and scouting. But as far as on-ice problems are concerned, it's the lack of depth on their forward lines. They are not strong in all areas of the game, and they lack the depth to provide secondary scoring. Teams that win are teams that can shut down the opposition and have their bottom lines scoring goals.

Leafs need to trade Kaberle for an excellent forward. If the Leafs had a player like Jason Spezza, it would make Kessel and their top line much more dangerous. If they can sign Brad Richards to a multi-year deal, they should try to acquire him from the Dallas Stars. The Stars could certainly use a player like Kaberle.

I agree with everything except with Komisarek ,man this guy sucks balls and is getting paid like hes duncan keith .Burke should be fired for just that alone hahaha

After the trades last year, some might argue they are the same team.
