Fourth From The Bottom Toronto Maple Leafs To Send Players To The Olympics
Although the Toronto Maple Leafs are near the bottom of the NHL standings, they will be able to send a few players to the Olympics. Surprising as it may seem, the Leafs do have a handful of decent players who will be beneficial to the Olympic line up.
Tomas Kaberle will be in his third Olympics playing for the Czech team who won a bronze medal in the 2006 Olympics. Although Jason Blake is a long shot for the US team, Phil Kessel and Mike Komisarek will be heading to Vancouver in February.
Sweden’s team will be getting Jonas Gustavsson and Niklas Hagman who made up part of Finland’s team when they won the silver in the 2006 games will also go to the Olympics. And last but not least center Mikhail Grabovski will play for Belarus.
With all of this talent heading off to the Olympics, it makes you wonder why the Toronto Maple Leafs are so near the bottom of the standings. It would be nice for the Leafs fans to be able to wear their Toronto Maple Leafs Jerseys with pride instead of just wondering whether their team will ever get back to the way they were in the good old days.
Leafs Can’t Buy a Win!
Toronto Maple Leafs players Jason Blake #55 and Lee Stempniak #12 crash into Michal Rozsival #33 and Henrik Lundqvist #30 of the New York Rangers during a game at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on October 17, 2009. Rangers drop Leafs for the seventh-straight win. Perhaps it’s time for a change in their coaching staff.
Hopefully when the new players of the team start playing as a team instead of as individuals, they will come together and bring back the old Toronto Maple Leafs from the good old days! Even though the Leafs haven’t won a Stanley Cup since 1967, their fans still like to support them by wearing their Toronto Maple Leafs hockey jerseys.
