Toronto Maple Leafs on the outside looking in for NHL Playoffs





Allsports article on the Toronto Maple Leafs and their inconsistent play putting them on the outside looking in for the NHL playoffs. With a miracle they may get in.







Here is an excerpt for the post



So what is wrong with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Allsports thinks much of the problem is in the defense. Toronto's defense has the third highest payroll in the league, behind only Vancouver and Philadelphia and look where they are in the standings. Dion Phaneuf has been anything but what he was advertised as and a 7 million a year is pretty costly for one goal. At least in the last couple of games Phaneuf is getting some good hits in and seems to be playing a bit tougher but still his performance is way lower than the pay slip he gets.
