Fifteen: Toronto (8th Atlantic)

Coach Mike Babcock is proven. So far it seems he is having to untrain this group completely before getting them to play his system solidly. No one is stepping up as the leader of this team. But I believe in Babcock and even more in GM Lou Lamiorello. This season may be a total rebuild - so any successes are positive.

Record: 10 - 13- 5 25pts ( projected: 11 - 16 - 7 29pts)

Significant Injuries:
No current injuries.

Next Fifteen Days 12/14/2015 - 12/28/2015:
Tuesday Tampa Bay visits
Thursday San Jose visits
Saturday Los Angeles visits
Monday at Colorado
Tuesday at Arizona
Sunday at New York Islanders

I could see this Toronto team stealing one against Los Angeles or the Isles. But I could also see them getting blown out by Arizona and Colorado. This is a good time for the Leafs to make a statement.

4 out of 12pts
1 - 3 - 2

Last Fifteen Days 11/29/2015 - 12/13/2015:
LOSS 2 - 4 Washington
WIN 3 - 0 Edmonton
LOSS 1 - 6 at Winnipeg
LOSS 0 - 1 at Minnesota
WIN 4 - 1 at St. Louis
WIN 3 - 2 (SO) New Jersey

3 - 3 - 0
6 out of 12pts

This could have been a disastrous fifteen days but the wins against St. Louis and New Jersey makes you wonder if the Maple Leafs can turn this terrible season around.
