TORONTO - The Toronto Maple Leafs were brimming with confidence entering Thursday nights game against New Jersey. Maury Wills Jersey .The Devils, however, were not. They were banged up, missing some key players and winless in their last five games. Yet it was New Jersey who outworked, outhustled and outplayed the Maple Leafs in a 5-3 victory at Air Canada Centre.My message was whatever we did today to prepare ourselves to play — dont do it again, Toronto head coach Randy Carlyle said after the loss.The Devils, who were without veteran forwards Jaromir Jagr and Patrik Elias, used a balanced scoring attack and shut down the Maple Leafs with their trademark trap-style game. Mike Cammalleri and Eric Gelinas scored on the power play for New Jersey (10-12-4) while Stephen Gionta, Steve Bernier and Adam Henrique had the other goals. Mike Santorelli, Nazem Kadri and Phil Kessel replied for the Maple Leafs (13-9-3), who suffered their first loss in regulation since a 9-2 rout to Nashville on Nov. 18. Toronto had earned nine of a possible 10 points over the five-game stretch.Toronto was coming off a 5-3 victory over Dallas, a scoreline that looked better than it was. The Maple Leafs won in sloppy fashion on Tuesday night and that wasnt going to work against a grinding team like the Devils.There was plenty of offence but this game was still a clunker with little pace, flow or rhythm.Ive used the expression before, winning is sometimes good deodorant for the stink thats getting into your game, said Toronto forward Peter Holland. I think tonight that stink was a little bit more prevalent. So we need to make sure that were tidying up a little bit.Both teams looked sluggish at the start. There were several missed passes and choppy neutral-zone play — it took nearly four minutes for the first shot on goal to be recorded.With Maple Leafs blue-liner Cody Franson off for interference, Gelinas scored his third goal of the season at 4:53. He fired a snapshot from the top of the face-off circle that handcuffed Toronto netminder Jonathan Bernier.Torontos first decent shift didnt come until midway through the first period as David Clarksons line provided some spark. Holland had a couple of decent chances that Devils netminder Cory Schneider turned aside.“We were going to have to play a real lunch-pail type game there tonight, said New Jersey coach Peter DeBoer. They have a ton of skill and we were going to have to find a way to slow them down. Bang them, good structure through the neutral zone, that was the gameplan and for the most (part) our guys executed it.The Leafs top line was quiet and Carlyle gave others a chance instead. Kessel and Tyler Bozak both had just 16 minutes of ice time on the night.I didnt think our top line was very good and the minutes showed that, Carlyle said.Toronto showed flashes of solid play early in the second period and was rewarded at 5:37. Santorelli tipped in a Joffrey Lupul floater from the high slot for his fourth goal of the season.The Devils answered a few minutes later. Bernier controlled the puck behind the Toronto net and made a nice pass to Gionta in front, who scored his first goal at 8:00.The Maple Leafs tied it while shorthanded when Kadri potted his own rebound at 11:14. It was his seventh goal of the season.Cammalleri restored New Jerseys lead at 16:48 with Lupul off after a boarding penalty. He scored his 11th goal by one-timing the puck after a shot from the point hit the back boards and came out by the side of the net.In the third period, Bernier gave the Devils a two-goal cushion at 6:12 with his second goal of the season. Henrique added an insurance goal, his seventh on the campaign, at 11:58.With the game essentially over and Toronto on a power play, Kessel potted his 13th goal at 19:25 after a scramble in front of the net.Plain and simple, I think we got outworked tonight ... they were physically involved in the game to a much higher level than we were, Carlyle said.Notes: The Maple Leafs continue their five-game homestand Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. The Devils play the same night against the visiting Washington Capitals. ... Jagr and defenceman Adam Larsson were scratched due to flu-like symptoms. Elias sat out with a groin injury. ... The Toronto scratches were forward Leo Komarov (concussion) and defenceman Roman Polak (knee). ... Announced attendance was 18,887.Follow @GregoryStrongCP on Twitter. Joc Pederson Jersey . Last July, F1 teams held in-season testing sessions at Silverstone to assess new tires provided by Pirelli after several blowouts on the same circuit at the British Grand Prix in June prompted a furious response from drivers and even a boycott threat the following week. Matt Kemp Jersey . The top-ranked Williams carried her winning momentum from 2013 into the new season, beating No. 2-ranked Victoria Azarenka 6-4, 7-5 on Saturday to defend her title at the Brisbane International and set the tone for the Australian Open. http://www.authenticdodgersgear.com/ . Down 2-1 after Rick Nash scored on a penalty shot, the Oilers ran off four unanswered goals in the remainder of the second period on the way to a 6-3 victory on Sunday.The month of May seems like so long ago for the Blue Jays. Since building a healthy lead in the East with an incredible 21-9 record in the second month of the season, the Jays have fallen off dramatically. Since June 1, they are only 14-19 and have actually only won eight of their last 27 games. They are still only two games back of first place Baltimore in the East but if the slide doesnt stop now, its going to be all over by the end of this month. A boost to the starting rotation would have been a good thing when the Jays were in first place and tearing up the league at the plate. But with Brett Lawrie gone for the rest of July with his broken finger, and now Edwin Encarnacion on the 15-day DL with a Grade 2 quad muscle strain, the Jays need to add a bat - preferably someone who can play second base or third or both. It almost has to be a right-hand bat considering the Jays are the worst hitting team in the American League against lefties. Since the Jays are in buying mode theyll probably have to target the teams that have no reasonable hope of getting even a Wild Card berth. In the American League, I count six teams that are realistically out of it, although Im still hesitant to count out Tampa Bay because the East is so weak. So for arguments sake, the six are Tampa Bay in the East, the White Sox and Minnesota in the Central and Texas and Houston in the West. Since Boston and Tampa Bay likely wont trade within their own division, that leaves four teams the Jays can talk with. Since Houston wont give up Jose Altuve and the Twins likely wont surrender Brian Dozier who fit the bill as right-handed hitters and solid second baseman, youre down to Texas and the White Sox. Since the Rangers are so injury ravaged, I cant see them making any significant deals until the off-season. That leaves Chicago. The White Sox have a right-hand hitting second baseman in Gordon Beckham, whom the Blue Jays were rumoured to be interested in in the off-season. Beckham is hitting .248 this season with seven homers and 24 runs batted in. Hes 24 years old. Cleveland is hanging around the .500 mark and isnt technically out, but in a week or two could decide to move some people. Theyve got 33-year-old utilityman Mike Aviles - yes, the same guy the Blue Jays got as compensation from Boston for manager John Farrell. Hes a .272 career hitter who can play second or third and maybe even shortstop in an emergency. In the National League, the six teams on the outside looking in include the Mets and the Phillies in the East, the Cubs in the Central and San Diego, Colorado and Arizona in the West. Corey Seager Jersey. The Phils have a good one in Chase Utley, but he reportedly wont waive his no-trade clause to go to a team with artificial turf such as the Blue Jays. The Mets Daniel Murphy is rumoured to be available, but he is New Yorks only All-Star rep and hits left handed. Still, hes hitting .294 with seven homers and 35 runs batted in go with 11 stolen bases. The Cubs Darwin Barney at 28 is having his second straight down year at the plate, hitting .219 though he does hit right. The Jays may have an interest in a man they originally drafted in second baseman Aaron Hill. Aaron is two years removed from his last great season with the D-Backs and is hitting only .241 this season with six homers and 42 runs batted in. The right-handed hitter is also 32 years old and is owed just shy of $30 million through 2016. J.P Morosi of Fox Sports has heard that the Jays are talking with San Diego about third baseman Chase Headley. The 30-year-old switch hitter, who has had back trouble on and off over the past couple of years, is only hitting .217 with six homers and 25 runs batted in. On top of that, any team acquiring him would have to make a qualifying offer of about $15 million to retain a draft pick at the end of the first round should Headley decide to walk. Then again if he decides to stay, a team is on the hook for $15 million for a player who may or may not be worth anything close to that. The Padres also have a 25-year-old right hand hitting second baseman in Jedd Gyorko, who cracked 23 homers last year in his first season. But this time around hes only batting .162 with five homers and 24 runs batted in. Of that entire bunch, I would probably opt for the Mets Murphy with Aaron Hill a close second. Unusual Repair Talk about the miracles of modern surgery. On Monday Arizona GM Kevin Towers is having surgery to repair a damaged vocal cord. Hes having it replaced with the vocal cord from a cadaver. Towers figures he will be able to talk again in three or four days and should be back at work in a week. Boston Turnaround They still have over 70 games to go, but the Boston Red Sox are close to doing something very unusual: going from last place, to first and a World Series victory, and back to last place. The Bosox dropped back into the basement behind Tampa Bay at 39-49. In 2012 under Bobby Valentine, they finished 69-93. Then a year ago John Farrell led them to a 97-65 mark and a World Series victory over St. Louis and now they are cellar dwellers again.
