Allsports thinks Maple Leafs Tougher but asks: Where are the Goals?

So Brian Burke started to fulfill his promise to make the Leafs tougher to play against this year by signing Mike Komisarek and Colton Orr to contracts. Orr is pretty hand with the old dukes and Komisarek will be a tougher presents in front of the Leafs net. Making opposing forwards pay a heavier price for standing there. If you have followed these guys in sports news or sports on the web you will know that Orr does not back down from anyone and Komisarek has a real nasty streak in him.

The problem is neither player is noted for putting the puck into the net which is something the Leafs were lacking last year. Burke did sign Garbovski to a 3 year deal but if they hope to improve on their standing this year some goals will have to be put into the equation. Burke has some money to play with so stay tuned.

One guy the Leafs can forget about for now is Rick Nash, who was due to be a free agent next year. He signed an eight year contract extension with Columbus, so barring a trade, Nash won’t be wearing the blue and white in the foreseeable future.

Here is a video of Orr in action

He did ok considering Georges Laraque is likely the toughest guy in the league.
