Are The Toronto Maple Leafs Improving Under Peter Horachek?

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,

Monday was another loss, but you wonder if the Toronto Maple Leafs are beginning to show some change under interim head coach Peter Horachek. Remember, Horachek spent all those years as an assistant coach on the Nashville Predators' bench, so teaching defense comes naturally to him.

The question, of course, was whether anyone can find a receptive audience in that Toronto dressing room. So far he seems to have, although time will tell if the Maple Leafs revert back to their old ways.

The Leafs limited the Kings to just 20 shots and not many scoring chances in a 2-0 defeat on Monday night, including an empty-net goal. The Leafs got style points, if not any real points, in the standings. They remain three points out of a playoff spot behind the Boston Bruins.
