Nobody is coming to save the Maple Leafs

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, It's Auston Matthews addressing the media with a call for accountability. The Maple Leafs captain told reporters after Sunday's lopsided 4-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils, amid injuries across the roster, "We’ve got to look in the mirror, ask a little bit more of ourselves and take on a little bit more.”

The Maple Leafs were hit with more injury blows this past weekend as Morgan Rielly left Saturday's loss to Montreal with a lower-body injury and Colton Sissons exited Sunday's game with the same designation. It's a turbulent time for the Leafs, who have dropped six of their last seven games and are in an Atlantic Division running rampant with points.
