Battered Beat and Broken

The Leaf are off to an atrocious start this season raking up another loss last Saturday evening. This leaves them with a 0-6-1 record on the 2009 season with only 1 point in the National Hockey League; making them dead last in the standings. Rubbing salt in the wound defenseman Ian White has just returned to practice with a about 20 stitches over his upper lip and left eye as well; after taking a puck to the face that was deflected by New York Rangers Sean Avery last Saturday night. “We’ve hit rock bottom,” said Leafs forward Lee Stempniak. “There’s no lower to go.” This record is shameful and must be broken. It’s been 42 years since Toronto has seen a cup, will fans have to wait another?
