Oilers hand Leafs first Regulation Loss..........

The Edmonton Oilers handed the Leafs their first regulation loss in 9 games last night. Several Ontario born players were excited about playing close to home, save for perhaps Dwayne Roloson who was a career 0-6 when facing the boys in blue.

The Leafs suffered their first regulation loss with this 4-1 defeat, spoiling Martin Gerbers home debut in a Leafs jersey.

"The puck is going to go through you sometimes," said Gerber. "That's just the way it is when you're a goaltender."

Roloson was easily the busiest of the two goalies facing 40 shots in total, compared to the 17 that the Oilers mustered.

“He’s really on top of his game,” Oilers defenseman Steve Staios said.



Toronto sees their next action Monday at Ottawa. As always, you can hear the action live, right here on Bench Brawl!

Gerber Shines in Leaf Debut!

While I am not going to recant what I said about Gerber when the Buds acquired him, he looked pretty solid out there. Perhaps a little stiff, but the Capitals gave him plenty of exercise firing 38 shots his way in a low scoring 2-1 Maple Leaf Victory.

If the Leafs could have held on another 39 seconds, Gerber would have become just the second Goalie in Leaf history to record a shut-out in their Toronto Debut. The other being Eddie Belfour.



The Leafs next action come Saturday at home to Edmonton. As always, you can hear the game, live right here on Bench Brawl!
