Buds Get Embarrassed At Home

The dismantling on the ice Tuesday night may lead to the dismantling of the roster in the coming weeks. Toronto lost 8-0 to the Florida Panthers last night at the Air Canada Centre upon the booing of the crowd. Mats Sundin continues to deny he will waive his no-trade clause and I truly believe this due to Sundin's track record of loyalty to each team he has represented over the years. Even with Mats staying put, there are still assets to be traded, the problem is none of these players seem to be playing for their jobs. Although many Leaf players are injured that include but are not limited to McCabe, Kilger, Steen, Bell and Boyce there seems to be little urgency for this team to win. It's almost like the team has accepted the fate that Fletcher has come in to trade away as many players as possible as quickly as possible. With that said, those hoping for change are rejoicing in the recent woes, those who still believe are disgusted. It is less than 20 days until the NHL trade deadline and if the team collectively does not improve their play expect one or more of the following: trades, demotion to Marlies and buyouts. These are rough times in Leafland but I'm sure the ACC will stay filled until it is burned to the ground.
