Leafs can't convert on power play in loss to Vancouver

The Leafs failed to convert on either of their 5 on 3 power plays in their 4-2 loss to Vancouver last night. They are now 0 of 14 on the 5 on 3. They peppered Vancouver with shots early in the game, however Toskala gave up 4 goals on 9 shots, allowing Toronto fans to see former Leafs hero Curtis Joseph. None of the goals were Toskala's fault. For the most part, the goals were of the pretty variety, caused by defensive miscues by the Leafs.

How about former Leaf Kyle Wellwood scoring his 7th goal of the season, to lead the Canucks in goals. The injured Wellwood was deemed to small and too out of shape to play for the Leafs. In fact he didn't even make the opening day Canucks squad. He got called up from the minors when injuries started to hit Vancouver.
