The Toronto Maple Leafs have picked a bad time to go on a
four-game losing streak, but the struggling club hopes to
end its slide Sunday evening in New Jersey. Toronto has
dropped four straight in regulation and has five losses
in its last six games. The rough patch has the Maple
Leafs barely hanging on to a playoff spot in the Eastern
Conference with 80 points. The Leafs are one point in
front of Detroit for the first wild card spot. The Red
Wings currently occupy the second wild card, but are tied
in the standings with Washington. Meanwhile, the Columbus
Blue Jackets are lurking just two points behind Toronto.
The Red Wings and Blue Jackets have games on Sunday,
while Washington is off. The Devils, meanwhile, are six
points behind Detroit for the last playoff spot in the
East. New Jersey also hasnt helped its postseason cause
lately with four losses in five games. Torontos most
recent setback came in Saturdays home test against the
rival Montreal Canadiens. Tomas Plekanec scored the go-
ahead goal in the third period and the Habs held on for
the 4-3 win at Air Canada Centre. The Leafs are 0-4 with
Reimer in net since starting goalie Jonathan Bernier went
down with a groin injury on March 13 in Los Angeles.
Bernier is nearing a return from his injury but he didnt
make the trip to New Jersey on Sunday, meaning Reimer
could get another start. Some good news for the Maple
Leafs? Center Dave Bolland played his first game Saturday
since suffering a severed tendon in his ankle on Nov. 2.
"I felt great," said Bolland. "I felt good with
everything that was going on out there." Bolland had one
shot in nine minutes and Joffrey Lupul, Tyler Bozak and
Nazem Kadri scored Torontos goals. Reimer stopped 32
shots in the loss. "We win and lose as a team," said
Carlyle. "The work ethic of our group has been strong.
Our execution is the area we need to get better at."
Toronto hopes to continue its recent dominance of the
Devils on Sunday. The Maple Leafs have won the last six
encounters in this series overall and have claimed three
straight and four of five in New Jersey. Both meetings
between the clubs this season have ended in shootouts.
James van Riemsdyk, a native of New Jersey, provided the
decisive shootout goal for Toronto on both occasions.
Sundays game will mark Toronto forward David Clarksons
first game back in New Jersey. Clarkson, who played in
426 games for the Devils, had a 30-goal season for Jersey
in 2011-12 but left the Garden State over the summer to
sign a seven-year, $36.75 million contract with Toronto.
It has been a trying first season with the Leafs for
Clarkson. The 29-year-old has missed significant time due
to suspensions and injuries and only has four goals and
six assists in 49 games this season. Clarkson has so far
failed to register a point in two games against the
Devils in 2013-14. "I would be lying if I said (this
game) was something that you dont think about," Clarkson
told NorthJersey.com. "I dont know how the fans will act,
but I am looking forward to going back." The Devils were
blanked in Saturdays home battle against the New York
Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist recorded his 50th career
shutout, a new franchise record, to help New York record
the 2-0 win at Prudential Center. The loss dropped New
Jersey nine points behind the Rangers for third place in
the Metropolitan Division. Martin Brodeur was solid in
defeat, stopping 25-of-26 shots for the Devils, who only
have 11 games left to make a playoff push. "Weve got to
regroup because we have a game tomorrow and it starts
right there," said New Jersey forward Stephen Gionta.
"Were going to have to claw our way back because were not
going to give up until the end." New Jersey fell to 1-2-0
on a crucial five-game homestand after Saturdays setback
and the club is 17-10-7 as the host this season. Cory
Schneider will get the call in net for New Jersey on
Sunday. He is 0-2 with a 1.40 goals against average in
two career games against Toronto.

referee will drop the puck to kick off the 2013-14
Stanley Cup Playoffs. The first round is always the
toughest brand of hockey and the most difficult for the
Officials to work effectively. Finishing on top of a
division does not always guarantee advancement beyond the
first playoff round as we have seen through several
upsets in recent years. This years matchups will
guarantee that some legitimate Cup contenders will be
eliminated with a one and done series appearance. The
margin for victory between all the teams is very slim and
mistakes made by players and officials are magnified at
this time of year. Simply put, mistakes can be the
difference between a team and an official from going on
in the playoffs or going home! Last night I joined James
Duthie for a brief segment in the playoff preview show
shot in Studio 9 at TSN where I will be monitoring games
and officials calls on a nightly basis throughout the
first round. James asked me what I will be looking for
from the Officials the moment the playoffs begin. My
response was for strict adherence to the letter of the
law. The rules do not change during the playoffs and
neither should the expected standard of enforcement! The
referees have often been accused of putting their
whistles away during the playoffs. Far too many times we
have seen the score and time of a game factored into the
refs judgment as to what constitutes an obvious penalty.
I cited a game between the NY Rangers and the Montreal
Canadiens from the final weekend of the regular season as
an example of what we should hope from the referees
throughout this postseason. In that game, referee Gord
Dwyer awarded a penalty shot to Brian Gionta in overtime
when the Habs captain was tripped from behind at the
Rangers blue line by Raphael Diaz. Gionta was chasing a
loose puck at the time he was fouled and therefore did
not have possession and control of the puck. This aspect
of the play could have offered the referee an out to take
an easier path and simply assess a minor penalty for
tripping. Instead, referee Dwyer made the correct
judgment as stipulated in rule 24.8 (iii) that Brian
Gionta would have obtained possession and control of the
puck and was denied a reasonable chance to score. The
game ended when Brian Gionta scored on the ensuing
penalty shot awarded by the referee. Kudos to referee
Dwyer for making this perceived ttough call (video
link).dddddddddddd In reality the more difficult position
a referee will place himself in is if he attempts to
manage the game by letting an obvious infraction go
uncalled. This often sets a chain of events in motion
that is difficult for the ref to recover from. The
subsequent infraction committed by the other team is
usually worse than the previous one he let go. By
applying a sense of fairness, the official feels helpless
to call that next penalty and the standard becomes lost.
The best deterrent for a player to avoid committing an
infraction is the fear that he will be placing his team
at a disadvantage by incurring a penalty. When that fear
factor no longer exists as a result of the refs whistle
being put away the game can deteriorate and the integrity
of the outcome placed in jeopardy. Anarchy can result
until an automatic penalty is called such as puck over
the glass or too many men on the ice and a semblance of
order is restored! This negative influence on a game can
be avoided it the referees call the obvious infractions
that are committed regardless of the score or time in a
game. Whenever the officials make the tough but correct
call they must receive the support of the Officiating
Department heads. Management needs to demonstrate their
courage by publicly backing the officials when they make
the right call at a crucial time in the game. A season
long subjective performance evaluation has been tabulated
by the Officiating and Hockey Operations Department on
each referee and linesman to determine selection to the
playoffs. Congratulations and best of luck to the
following officials that have been selected to the first
round: Referees Francis Charron, Paul Devorski, Gord
Dwyer, Eric Furlatt, Dave Jackson, Mark Joannette, Steve
