You are right John, they have been focused, but more importantly, they've really tried to stay out of the penalty box. When the season started, they were getting stupid penalties like last season, but since that west coast road trip, they have checked their tempers at the door.
Nieuwendyk was a great addition, I was thrilled when I heard they acquired him. Nolan and Mats have been playing great, and we're going to be without Mogiliny for another few months. I can't wait till he gets back!
Ken Klee and Bryan Marchant on defense have also been a big plus as well. Defense was the next big weakness the Leafs had.
And what can you say about the Eagle? Truly one of the best goalies in the league.
I'm pretty excited, since I'm going to see them play the Panthers on the 29th, and the Lightning on Feb 10th and 26th! I'm also going to see the Avs-Lightining at the end of January as well! Nothing like watching hockey in person!!
Well, maybe playing is a little better!
