The team came from a long road trip... the 1st home game after most of the time is the hardest one... they came back i their family, child didn't saw their father last 10 days so they want to spend time with it, their wife or girlfriend want to see him involve in the house, etc...
Shiuld that be really surprising than leafs level of energy was at his lower this season?!?!?!
Youre adding they gave up an unlucky 1st goal, LAK scored a 2nd goal, nothing to help to bring energy in that game... yeah its those kind of game pretty hard for everyone.
If they are playing that way thursday vs Boston, i will be a little bit more concern than this one..
Yes they could be better in october like they could be worst ( # oilers) but at the end 5-3-1 but at the end that still 100 pts space... its okay and leafs will still continu to grow up ans build chemistry
