TORONTO - Its only Game 2 and the Maple Leafs are already throwing themselves on their sword.Led by three-point performances from Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated a flat Toronto team 5-2 Saturday night.We have to find our game, said Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf. The bottom line is we have to be a lot better. Tonight we got beat in all aspects of the game. They were harder on pucks, they were better in their special teams than we were.Its two games in but its unacceptable so far, said star forward Phil Kessel. Weve got to be better.Crosby had a goal and two assists, all on the power play, for his second straight three-point game. Malkin also had a goal and two assists.The Penguins captain savoured the fast start after last seasons second-round playoff exit.(We) had a long summer, had a lot of time to think about last year, he said. Were all pretty excited to get started. I think everybodys excited to get started, but its nice to see it translate into a couple wins.Fantasy team owners who took the Penguins superstar will be encouraged to know Crosby is on pace for a 246-point season. While thats not going to happen, Crosby will continue to profit if Pittsburghs power play is allowed to take the ice as it did before a subdued Air Canada Centre crowd of 19,039.Patric Hornqvist, Chris Kunitz, Evgeni Malkin and Brandon Sutter also scored for Pittsburgh (2-0-0), which got a solid showing in goal from Marc-Andre Fleury. Joffrey Lupul and Tyler Bozak replied for Toronto (0-2-0), which might have had it worse if not for goalie Jonathan Bernier.Its still early days for the Leafs, who return to action Sunday in New York against the Rangers. And they have faced two fine teams in Montreal and Pittsburgh.But Leafs Nation is anything but patient.A fan tossed a Toronto jersey onto the ice with some eight minutes remaining in the game, as if throwing in the towel.Theyre frustrated and were frustrated, said Carlyle.Toronto lost its home opener 4-3 to Montreal on a late goal Wednesday.Pittsburgh, which led 3-0 after the first period, outshot Toronto 41-25 in a game that was not as close as the score indicated. The Leafs were down 3-0 and 5-1 when they scored their goals.The line of Crosby, Hornqvist and Kunitz finished with six points and the Penguins went three-for-five on the power play. The Leafs were two-for-five with the man advantage.The penalties in the offensive zone specifically, were unacceptable, said Carlyle, saying his team has to be held accountable for its early-season lack of discipline.Crosby picked up two goals and an assist in the Pens season-opening win over Anaheim.The reigning NHL scoring champion came into Saturdays game having collected 17 points (nine goals and eight assists) in 13 career visits to the Air Canada Centre and 43 points (20 goals, 23 assists) in 28 career games against the Leafs.Kessels sluggish start continued with three trips to the penalty box, although one was a bench minor for too many men on the ice, and not much else. Kessel had one shot on the night.We didnt play that great, my line particularly again, said Kessel, lamenting the fact that his line isnt seeing much of the puck.The second line featuring Lupul and Nazem Kadri, with Daniel Winnik this time, had the most jump. Leafs coach Randy Caryle shuffled the deck in the third period, having Kessel skate with Kadri and Lupul while David Clarkson was with the erstwhile first line of James van Riemsdyk and Bozak.Van Riemsdyk and Simon Despres had a brief fight with 33 seconds remaining. There was a fast-paced opening to the game with four minutes and nine seconds without a whistle from the opening puck drop. Carlyle liked his teams start, but a couple of bad bounces changed the complexion of the game.Hornqvist opened the scoring at 6:44 on Pittsburghs second shot, pouncing on a wide Christian Ehrhoff shot from the point that bounced back off the end boards. The former Predators winger got to it before a Leaf and fired a shot through Berniers legs.There was more of the same at 7:44, 14 seconds into a Kessel hooking penalty. An angled Kris Letang shot from the point flew just wide of the left post and bounced off the boards behind the goal back out past the right post where a cruising Crosby beat Stephane Robidas to the puck and slapped it in for his third in two games.Kunitz, camped in front of goal with two Leafs in the box, made it 3-0 at 17:46 when he redirected a delicate Crosby feed from near the side boards.When the tide of the hockey game swung so hard against our hockey club, we didnt have much of a response, said Carlyle. You look to those big guys on your team to be able to grab it back for you. And right now, in these two games theyve had some difficulty doing that.Defenceman Cody Franson, who missed the opener with a knee bruise, took warmup but did not play.Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Dallas Cowboys Jerseys China .

Midfielders Patrice Bernier and Justin Mapp and forward Daniele Paponi also werent on the field Thursday due to minor injuries. Some of them, maybe even all of them, will be ready when the Impact play host to the New England Revolution on Saturday afternoon, but how much they can play might only be determined on the day of the game. "Right now I cant say," said coach Marco Schallibaum. "But we have a couple of days. "The good news is that Alessandro (Nesta) can play. As for Marco, Patrice and Justin, well know after practice (on Friday), but Im confident to have at least two out of three of them. But even if we dont have this player or that player I think we have enough talent to win the match." The club will also be without its two workhorse fullbacks. Jeb Brovsky, who has played all 30 games this season, is expected to miss the next three with a broken toe, while Hassoun Camara will serve a one-game suspension for accumulating five yellow cards. Schallibaum hopes Brovsky can return for the final regular-season game Oct. 26 in Toronto and be ready for the playoffs. On the plus side, Nesta is due to return after missing two games with a groin problem, and midfielder Hernan Bernardello is also back after missing more than a month with a sprained ankle. Di Vaio, who leads MLS with 19 goals, had to leave a 1-0 loss in Houston on Friday night, but hopes to be ready to face the Revolution. "It started in the warmup," the 37-year-old said. "I played because I wanted to help the team, but it was difficult and I wasnt able to continue. "But I did the physiotherapy and now I feel a lot better and Im confident I can play Saturday." Bernier sat out for the first time this season in Houston with a hip problem, but he is also lookinng to play.dddddddddddd "I feel good," he said. "Im training to be ready. "I didnt play last Friday so that I would be able to play this game. Whether I come off the bench or Im (starting), I dont know. Its not my decision. But my main goal is to at least be ready mentally and physically." Bernier took the field near the end of the practice to kick the ball with for a few minutes with his teammates, but Mapp only ran laps. The injuries have the club limping into a match that could have big playoff implications. The Impact (13-10-7) are fourth in the Eastern conference with 46 points, seven points behind New York, six behind Kansas City and two behind Houston, but with two games in hand on all three rivals. But they are only one point ahead of Philadelphia and three ahead of sixth-place Chicago. The three points for a win wouldnt clinch anything, but it would put them ahead of Houston and keep their pursuers at bay. They travel to Los Angeles on Wednesday, then return home to face Philadelphia on Oct. 19. In MLS, the top three teams in each conference go directly to the conference semifinals, while the fourth and fifth-place teams face each other for the right to face the first-place team. With Brovsky out, Maxim Tissot is expected to start at left back. Captain Davy Arnaud, normally a midfielder, will likely fill in for Camara on the right side. Arnaud played some right back last season. Central defender Nelson Rivas, who has yet to play this season due to a knee injury, has finally resumed practising with the team, but is not expected to suit up. Arnaud was in the spotlight this week after the Nederland, Texas, native gave his first television interview in French. He did well, too. The 33-year-old has been studying the language since joining the Impact last season. Arnauds ancestors spoke the Cajun French of Louisiana, but he said his great-grandmother was the last in the family to speak it.
