Maple Leafs take desperate measures only to suffer from Spezza's mistake
You’d laugh, had the cost not been so severe.
It was one fluke occurrence — and a situation that no amount of experience could prepare Jason Spezza for — but it was all the difference on Wednesday night for Nazem Kadri’s Colorado Avalanche, who sent the Toronto Maple Leafs tumbling down into 24th position in the points percentage standings with a 3-1 win at Scotiabank Arena.
Surprising? Look no further than Toronto’s record on the second night of back-to-backs, which is now 1-5-1 after yet another disappointing result on tired legs.
