Too many turnovers, too many penalties. Not one of the Leafs better games during this winning stretch. But they won. Right now, that's all that counts. Still...
?We still got plenty to work on,? Lupul said. ?Obviously things are headed in the right direction, but we know what can happen if you get complacent."
?We?re going to take the two points, but we can?t be happy with the sloppiness with which we played,? Carlyle said ?We cannot continue to play that style of game and think we?re going to have success."
Goaltender Jonathan Bernier, who stopped 35 of the 38 shots he faced, said it was the Leafs? worst game in their recent stretch.
?When you score that many goals, it?s hard mentally to stay sharp and play defensively,? Bernier said. ?But we got the two points, and that?s what matters.?

Nice to see that 2nd line click. I've wanted to try Santorelli with Kadri and Lupul since training camp.
Sounds like JVR had another pretty ho-hum game. With Lupul seemingly taking back his spot at LW2, I wonder if Komarov should get a shot on the top line when he returns. Would be a nice reward for somebody who is tied for the 2nd most EV-points on the team. Put JVR with Holland (and Booth, for the love of god put Clarkson on the 4th line already), and that might wake JVR up while giving Holland a more skilled player to play with.

I don't completely understand the reason for having Kadri on the point on the PP, but if this is going to continue, I'd rather see Franson, our best PP defenceman this year, on the first unit with him as opposed to Phaneuf. Then Phaneuf can come out with Gardiner on the second unit.
The main thing with this arrangement is why Carlyle has decided to freeze Rielly out of any worthwhile PP time. Makes no sense. We have four capable defenceman that can play the point on the PP, which would open up Kadri again to use his playmaking skills down low.
