OCTOBER RECAP

After the first month of the season the Toronto Maple Leafs are showing that they truly are a team in need of a lot of growth and improvement.

Record - 3-6-1

Ranking

Division 7th
Conference 15th
League 28th

Goals Per Game - 1.50 (30th)
Goals Against Per Game 2.70 (15th)

Goals J. Van Riemsdyk - 3

Assists J. Lupul - 4

Plus/Minus P. Holland - +1

Penalty Minutes D. Phaneuf - 16

Wins J. Reimer - 2

Biggest Surprise

The biggest surprise after the first month of the season for the Leafs franchise is winger Jeremy Morin currently in the AHL. The 24 year old has 13 points in 10 games with a couple game winners, continuing this play may force the team to let him test the NHL this year.

Biggest Disappointment

Defenceman Morgan Reilly who coach Babcock and others in the organization expected a big step forward from is definitely struggling to start the year. After the first 10 games Reilly has only one assist and is a minus 5.

Rumors are already flying all over this team of possible moves to bring in younger players, and potentially some call ups early this season. Time will tell if the organization gives this group some more time, or decides to shake things up quick.
