I didn't watch the full game, but it makes me feel better that the Leafs didn't play the full game either. They showed up in the third. It seems like a regular thing for the leafs to suddenly come alive in the third period to try and win the game. Sure, sometimes it will work out for you, but other (most) times it will bite you in the ass.
The first two periods almost looked like a practice for the Hurricanes. The Leafs weren't fore checking, weren't shooting, weren't pressuring the other team. It was pretty pitiful. Ben Scivens was in net for this one and the loss definitely cannot be attributed to him. He played well and actually kept his team in the game, it was the defensive play of the team that let the rookie goalie down.

Kessel must be performing some sort of sorcery this year. He scored both the Leaf goals bringing his magic totals up to 16 goals and 29 points, he seems to be the light at the end of this November stretch. He's always been a streaky player, but this season seems different. Hopefully he can keep it up.
