The Dog Ate Matt Stajan's Common Sense

From The Star:
Concerning the shootout malaise:

"We're running into hot goalies maybe," said forward Matt Stajan. "I don't know what to say about the shootout.

That's it, Stajy. Every goalie goes hot just as they're about to face Leafs shooters.

"It just hasn't been our thing the last few years."

Neither has the playoffs.

Already this season the Maple Leafs are 0-3 in the shootout. They're 7-17 since it was introduced at the start of the 2005-06 season.

For a team that missed the playoffs by one point last year, and two points in 2005-06, that's a lot of opportunities missed.

Maybe there's something wrong with their sticks?
