Keefe Disses Bertuzzi Openly in Interview

Tyler Bertuzzi is having a hard time adjusting to the Leafs in his first year with the club. Bertuzzi, who has 19 points in 42 games, hasn't been able to fully find his rhythm, despite playing a lot of the year with William Nylander and John Tavares.

Sheldon Keefe recently opened up about his play, saying some blunt opinions about how he has been so far this season, and that he needs to improve.

"I would say inconsistent," Keefe said when asked to review Bertuzzi's play of late. "For me, it has taken a while to get going in each game that we have played of late. When the game gets going, he is in it and he is competitive. At times, the game gets away from him a little bit early."

Bertuzzi isn't known for his goal-scoring ability, with his career-high being 62 points, though he did score 30 goals that season.

Bertuzzi And Leafs Drop Another Game to the Oilers

The Leafs are going through some struggles right now, dropping a fourth game in a row, this time at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers. The Leafs have struggled with the lead this season, dropping another game where they came out to a lead.

What a disaster. Leafs D-Zone is atrocious right now. Can't hold leads. How many multi goal leads the boys in blue going to give up? WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON??? #LeafsForever

The Leafs will look to bounce back against new GM Brad Treliving's former team the Calgary Flames tomorrow night, the second game of their four-game road trip.
