Toronto Fans Rain Down Boos As Leafs Lose Again

Despite a line-up shake-up the Toronto Maple Leafs (0-5-1) lost yet another game, this time to the Quebec Nordiques Colorado Avalanche (4-1-1).

Colorado built a lead in the first period that they never gave up. Brett Clark scored on the power play and David Jones added a goal near the end of the first to put the Avalanche up 2-0.

Francois Beauchemin would try to pretend the Maple Leafs don't suck and scored on the power play to bring the score to 2-1.

Then the Avalanche remembered how easily the Maple Leafs defense is exploited and former Maple Leaf Darcy Tucker scored on the power play, followed four minutes later by John-Michael Liles. For those keeping score at home the Maple Leafs are still paying Tucker $1,000,000 a year after a buy out to score on them.

No one would score in the third as the Maple Leafs could not get anything going and the Avalanche were busy thinking about how much better they are than Toronto.

As is custom in Toronto these days, the Maple Leafs once again followed the theory that if you can't beat them, BEAT them.

First Colton Orr remembered that even though he isn't really that good at hockey, he sure can punch! Here he takes on David Koci:



In the second period Matt Hendricks got a lesson in boxing as Garnet Exelby took out the frustrations of a rough season on Hendricks' face.



Ron Wilson decided he is too disgusted to watch the team practice to give his team a day off from practice to refocus. The Maple Leafs are back in action Saturday against the Rangers.
