I think it has more to do with teh different way this team (Leafs thank you :P) plays on the road. On the road there is but one focus, win at all costs, don't take dumb penalties and don't bother with trying to "impress" the paying customers at the "Bay Street Bank Valut"

A trade involving McCabe isn't likely to happen for the simple reason of economics. McCabe would represent such a cap hit that only a few teams could handle it and of those none want what he brings to the table. Tucker is a decent enough role player, but there cheaper ones out there being dangled right now. As for Gill... does the phrase "shaved monkey and a bag of pucks" hold any meaning for you? ;)

Like it or not, this team is the team we've got this year, maybe if Mats retires or moves on :( things will be shaken up with some vigor, but otherwise "SSDD" (Same S#$T Different Day) in Leafs Land.
