But on the flipside letting Elliott get torched for 4+ goals isn't very good either.

Elliott will bounce back, he's come back after some bad outings and he will again.

Learning to bounce back from a bad game is a requirement for a #1 NHL goalie.

Elliott was bound to have an off-night (or very off-night) and Brodeur is just a much more reliable goalie than Leclaire right now.

I think that's a little extreme Mark.

A little bit, it's mainly my frustration in how poor Leclaire has played over the last two months. I just can't blame it on the injuries anymore. I'm a big Columbus fan, so watching Leclaire struggle to regain form isn't anything new.

I like Leclaire but the guy has zero confidence, and the team hasn't showed much confidence in him either in a long time.

Its obvious that Leclaire has to play again, he costs too much to let sit, but throwing him in a game at this score and time isn't going to do him any good.

But on the flipside letting Elliott get torched for 4+ goals isn't very good either.

Speaking of Columbus, they are up 4-0 on the Sabres (Sab-rays, if you're a fan of The Office).

Yeah no one should be down on Elliott for tonight, it was bound to happen eventually, just sucks that it happened against the leafs.

Nah nah nah nah, chants in a regular season game? Well I guess the Leaf faithful have realized the team is peaking right now.

And Spezza...bad, bad, bad game. Come on mother diddler.

what's hilarious are the fans in Toronto. I heard an 'Ottawa Sucks' chant and the 'na na na hey hey goodbye' song. Are you kidding me toronto? Yeah you're winning, but seriously? I guess winning one game handily makes desperate fans act even more idiotic.

Never again will I feel bad for Leafs fans.

I was thinking of calling out Spezza, Picard and Campoli earlier but really, the game was pretty brutal all around.

On the other hand I realize you're not basing the Kuba and Picard thing on tonight. You've been looking for change back there for a while now.
