It is, after all, just a bad start and a .500 one at that. There remains 78 games to jell and jell they will. Two of the staples of past teams, Sundin's stoicism and Yushkevich's strong play, have vapourized. Yanic Perreault and Nik Antropov are yet to return to the lineup. The Leafs jet west today.
Turbulence is in the forecast until spring.
