The Toronto Maple Leafs’ West Coast road trip has not gone as planned. With last night’s loss to the LA Kings, Toronto has now lost three straight. The 4-4-1-0 Leafs will try to get back on track tonight against the Anaheim Ducks before heading home for a date with the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday. Toronto was one of the best teams in hockey last year and a legitimate Stanley Cup contender. A meeting with Anaheim is just what they need to right the ship. The Ducks are the worst team in hockey, at 1-6-0-1, are dead last in goals per game, averaging just 2.0, and second to last in goals allowed, at 4.4. The Leafs have won 7 of the last 8 meetings and are 7-3 in their last 10 at the Pond. If Toronto can’t beat these hacks then maybe some coaching changes should be made.
