The Maple Leafs loss to Montreal was not really all that unexpected. Leafs coach Mike Babcock wants six points in every five-game segement. The Leafs have 19 points in 18 games, so they won't get to 24 in 20. Another thing to keep in mind is American Thanksgiving, which traditionally marks the one-quarter part of the season (20 games). Is it me or do the Leafs need a veteran stud defenceman or two to show the young lads the ropes?
