They blamed at least part of it on a Monster, but what's really scary is an embarrassed, desperate and "urgent" Senators team couldn't beat a group of no-name Toronto Maple Leafs.

OK, so there was some passion to the Senators play in a 4-1 loss to the bad Buds at Scotiabank Place on Tuesday. And it's true Toronto goalie Jonas Gustavsson (a.k.a. "The Monster") was solid in making 30 saves. But on the heels of that dog in Vancouver on Saturday -- and with only one win in six games before the latest Battle of Ontario -- the Senators very much needed to get back on track.

And they didn't have enough to defeat a last place team.
