TORONTO – It took less than a week for life to sour for
the Maple Leafs.
Kikaha-Saints-Jersey/">Hau oli Kikaha Jersey . Six
days after rallying for perhaps their finest win of the
season in the sunshine of L.A. – and second in the
challenging California triangle – did they drop their
third straight game Wednesday, sullied by the hat trick
of Steven Stamkos in what proved a dour night at the ACC.
"Obviously we havent played as well as we need to," said
head coach Randy Carlyle following the 5-3 defeat. "And
were not sitting here saying that were playing the type
of hockey that is required to have success. Is it a
trend? Well we lost three games in a row. If we show the
desperation that we displayed in the last half of the
game for 60 minutes we surely could improve our chances,
thats for sure." With the loss – their fourth in the
past five games – Toronto fell three points back of
Tampa for second spot in the Atlantic with another key
division match looming on Saturday with Montreal in town.
Once in fine shape to make it back to the playoffs for a
second straight spring, the Leafs are skidding at the
wrong time and hurting those chances. They still hold the
first wild card position (80 points), but have ceded
ground to the Blue Jackets (76 points), Capitals (76),
and Red Wings (75) – all have games in hand – also
failing to keep pace with the Lightning (83) and
Canadiens (83). Still struggling to defend, the Leafs
have not had the brilliance of Jonathan Bernier to lean
on during this recent three-game slide, nor have they
been able to outscore opponents on the strength of their
top line, a source of success in many victories this
season. With 11 games still remaining they certainly have
time to veer back in the right direction. "No sense in
panicking," concluded James Reimer following the latest
loss. Yielding the first goal for the fifth consecutive
game on this night, the Leafs started sluggishly in their
first game back from a lengthy five-game road trip,
running around in the defensive zone. By the end of 20
minutes they were down 3-2 on a pair from Stamkos, also
reeling from the scary loss of Paul Ranger (more on that
in Five Points). "Weve had a trend over the last three
games where we seem like were starting a little
sluggish," said Mason Raymond afterward. "Were not
getting the exact start that were wanting. I think later
in the game we showed that desperation, but we need that
for 60 minutes." Peppering 22 shots at Ben Bishop in the
final frame – even pulling to within one on another goal
from Jake Gardiner – Toronto made a late push, but like
recent comeback efforts in Washington and Detroit, they
ultimately fell short. Unhappy with a schedule that saw
his team return from 10 days on the road only to host
Tampa on the second end of a back-to-back – they lost to
the Red Wings on Tuesday – Carlyle felt fatigue was an
issue. "Its not an excuse," he said. "But its a trying
situation. Its not easy. And you could definitely tell
that they had more jump than we did, specifically at the
beginning. But we started to play a lot more desperate
and we showed that we have more in the tank. Its just
that we had to run on some emotion. We didnt have that
emotion in the first half of the game and we developed it
in the second half of the game and thats the positive
part." Five Points 1. Reimers Response Reimer returned to
the net less than 24 hours after his performance in
Detroit was criticized by Carlyle. His night started just
as poorly as the night previous had ended, with Radko
Gudas sailing a point shot through a maze of traffic and
beyond the surprised 26-year-old. "I just didnt see the
puck," said Reimer afterward. "Its a crappy way to start
the game." Rarely looking comfortable, though not helped
at times by his support staff, Reimer yielded five at the
end of the evening on just 30 shots. He owns a .901 save
percentage in his last five appearances, all coming
consecutively in the past week. "Just like the rest of
our team," said Carlyle, noticeably bothered by the swell
of attention his comments the previous evening received.
"I get in trouble when I comment about goalies with [the
media]." "First thing I just wanted to come out and play
well and be a difference-maker and unfortunately it wasnt
the case," said Reimer. "I felt I made some good saves,
but definitely wasnt the performance I was looking for. I
wanted to come out and be big, keep your team in it. It
just didnt happen tonight." Bothered by a groin injury,
Bernier took to the ice Wednesday morning for the first
time since he exited a long-awaited return to the Staples
Center last week. He was expected to skate again in full
equipment again on Friday with his status for a weekend
back-to-back still in doubt. 2. Scary Incident Only 4.1
seconds remained in the first when Ranger was hammered
from behind by Lightning forward Alex Killorn. Reversing
to his left at the very last second, the 29-year-old was
caught by the elbow of Killorn as he was slammed into the
glass. "He was in a tough spot," said Tim Gleason, who
rushed in to confront Killorn afterward. "He was facing
the glass I think most of the way in. I think a little
extra bump and thats all it takes. It almost looks
harmless but its not." A hush encompassing the entire
arena, Ranger remained down on the ice for quite a while,
surrounded by concerned teammates and the teams medical
staff. He was eventually helped off the ice on a
stretcher, the intermission beginning with time still
left on the clock and the Leafs left to wonder about the
health of their fallen teammate. "Thats scary," said
Joffrey Lupul of the incident, Killorn receiving a five-
minute major and game misconduct. "Thats one of your
teammates, your friends, a guy you see everyday. It didnt
look great when he was leaving the ice. Youre trying to
clear your head and focus on the next period, but you
cant lie, obviously part of you is wondering whats going
on with him." Ranger was taken to a local hospital and,
according to the team, was "stable, conscious and alert".
3. Stamkos Dominates With the hat trick Wednesday,
Stamkos now has 13 goals and 25 points in 20 career games
against his hometown team. Seven games back into his
comeback from a broken tibia, he scored his first of the
night on a power-play – David Clarkson in the box –
lost back-door by Gleason and the Toronto penalty kill.
He added a second marker less than three minutes later,
just a step ahead of Dion Phaneuf for position in front
of Reimer. The Lightning captain completed the trifecta
early in the middle frame. Capitalizing on a failed
clearing attempt by Lupul, Stamkos beat his counterpart
to an Eric Brewer rebound, banging it past Reimer for the
fourth Tampa goal. "We had five guys around the puck,"
said Carlyle of the marker, which made it 4-2 for the
Lightning. "We had five people in position, but we were
coasting and we were watching." "Were just getting
exposed," added Lupul. "The area in which Stamkos scored
his goals, you dont want to give anybody, specifically
anybody of that skill-set, that kind of space in that
area," Carlyle concluded. 4. Reimer II His future almost
certainly resting outside of Toronto, Reimer made no
secret of his troubles and tribulations this season,
relegated to backup duty. "Its been a really big test of
character," he said. "Learnt a lot about perseverance,
endurance, and fighting through adversity. Really hasnt
gone the way Id hoped. I havent played, I dont think, up
to my capability for the last little while. Its tough.
Its not for lack of effort, not for lack of passion or
desire. But things just arent clicking. Im working hard,
trying to stay positive, believing in myself and I fully
believe that things will turn around." 5. Depth Scoring
Offensive depth for the Leafs has gone almost completely
quiet. Lupul and one-time linemate Nazem Kadri – they
were split against the Lightning – have just two apiece
in the past 14 games. David Clarkson has totaled just
four all season and one in the past 23 games. Nik Kulemin
scored Wednesday for just the second time in the past 18.
Peter Holland has gone 20 straight without a single
marker, potting just one point in that span. And Jay
McClement, a source of eight goals in 48 games a year
ago, has just three in 70 games. All of which has upped
the pressure on the teams top line to produce, their
failure to do so often meaning defeat. Phil Kessel
snapped a four-game goal drought with his 35th of the
year against the Lightning and though dangerous, his line
was held off the scoresheet otherwise. Toronto forwards
have just seven goals in the past six games, carried by
the defence which has eight, including four from
Gardiner. Stats-Pack 5 – Consecutive games in which
Toronto has allowed the first goal. 2-1-0 – Leafs record
against the Lightning this season. 7 – Goals from the
Toronto forward group in the past six games. 14 – Number
of times the Leafs have outshot their opposition this
season, including a 39-30 advantage on Wednesday. 22:39
– Ice-time for James van Riemsdyk against the Lightning,
leading the team. 7 – Consecutive games with a goal for
the Leafs defence. 5 – Goals from Jake Gardiner in the
past seven games. 20 – Consecutive games without a goal
Peter Holland. 2 – Goals for Nik Kulemin in the past 18
games. Kulemin scored his ninth of the year against
Tampa. Special Teams Capsule PP: 0-3Season: 20.4 per cent

Boise State and new head football coach Bryan Harsin have
agreed to the terms of a five-year contract worth $6.5
million. University officials released the term sheet
signed by Harsin Wednesday, the day the former Broncos
walk-on player and Boise native was named the successor
to Chris Petersen, who left for Washington last week.
Petersen spent eight seasons leading the Broncos and was
expected to make $2.3 million in salary next year. Harsin
will be paid $1 million each of the first two years, with
subsequent raises of $1.3 million, $1.55 million and
$1.65 million in the final year. A formal contract with
bonuses and incentives will be hammered ouut in coming
weeks, athletic department officials said.
Snead-Saints-Jersey/">Willie Snead IV Jersey. The
deal also provides Harsin with $1.75 million to satisfy
the buyout clause in his contract with Arkansas State,
where Harsin got his first year of head coaching
experience. Harsin will also have $2.2 million to spend
on his new staff and the buyout with Boise State in the
first year is $2 million, according to the term sheet.
Harsin is the Broncos former offensive co-ordinator, but
he left Boise in 2010 and spent two years running the
offence at Texas. He led Arkansas State to a 7-5 record
this season, but will not coach the Red Wolves in the
GoDaddy.com Bowl later this month.
