Filed under: Maple Leafs
If there is such a thing as momentum, you might say the fickle Toronto Maple Leafs have it on their side, sort of, as they head out on a three-game swing through Western Canada.Given up for dead earlier this month, the Maple Leafs salvaged their dented reputation with shootout victories last week over Boston and Washington and a regulation-time triumph over the tired Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.
Mixed in with the euphoria were the usual lackluster performances in losses to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia at the Air Canada Centre when a disgruntled fan tossed a waffle on the ice to express his disgust with his beloved blue and white.
Given the way the season has gone, the Leafs grasped at whatever they could to boost their confidence as they continue to chase the goal of making the playoffs for the first time in a half-decade.
"You look at the whole week, and we did something," coach Ron Wilson said after the win over Montreal. "A lot of people said we would not win one of those games. We won three of them."
