The ghosts of Toronto Maple Leafs regular seasons past surrounded the team this week with the highs of Monday’s 5-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning to the lows of Thursday’s 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues.

This wasn’t the response game the Leafs were looking for. Although the second period was their best, they still gave Boston opportunities to get back in the game. Three of their four goals were arguably gifts, including the game winner. The defensive errors continue to cost them, and their power play can’t help them. The Leafs get a C+ for this one.
