Leafs Biggest Surprise

The only real positive this team has this season is winger J. Van Riemsdyk who in 46 games this year has 40 points which is impressive when nobody else on the team has even 30 points so far.

Leafs Biggest Disappointment

Morgan Rielly was expected to break out this year and take the next step in his young career but that has just not happened. In 46 games Rielly only has 17 points and 2 goals.

Really excited to see what the Leafs do at the deadline... Looks like you had a rough patch of games there but Bernier seemed to be decent in a couple too. Bright days in a dark time in Toronto...

February 9th 2016
Maple Leafs 2 (23-25-3) @ Flames 4 (22-23-6)

February 11th 2016

February 13th 2016
Maple Leafs 2 (24-26-3) @ Canucks 4 (26-23-5)


Toronto's western Canada trip ended about as expected with a 4-2 loss in Vancouver to the Canucks

goaltender Ryan Miller played great stopping 36 of 38 shots in the win. Leafs had one bright spot as James Van Riemsdyk scored both goals for his team making people wonder if he will help the rebuild by being a leader or being a big trade chip
