Leafs Lose 4-3 to Panthers!

Despite firing 38 shot's at Florida net minder Tomas Vokoun, the Leafs came away with a 3-1 loss last night, “They’ve been struggling of late, having lost four,” Toronto right wing Jamal Mayers said. “We knew that. We couldn’t quite get that second goal to hopefully make them tighten up a little bit. But you’ve got to give their goalie credit, he played well.”

The story of Martin Gerber coming to Toronto varies, depending on who you ask but so far, I think he has played fairly well. ( Ugh!, I can't believe I might be warming up to this guy!) He allowed 3 goals on 42 shot's last night and is a respectable .500 since taking over for Toskala after the trade deadline.

“We had chances and we had good puck possession,” Gerber said. “In the second period, we just lost the momentum and they were on top of us for a while. We had a tough time getting out of our zone. In the third, we tried everything we could. We had some chances, but we couldn’t put it in.”



The Leafs next action comes Saturday against Montreal, and my buddy Patrick is going to owe me another 5 bucks! As always, you can hear all the action live, right here on Bench Brawl!
