Leafs Play Awful, Win 4-3 in OT

EDMONTON, CANADA - FEBRUARY 15: Matthew Lombardi #15 of the Toronto Maple Leafs celebrates with teammates following his goal against Nikolai Khabibulin #35 Edmonton Oilers on February 15, 2012 at the Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. (Photo by Dale MacMillan/Getty Images)

Toronto scored a pair in the first 1:38 and then got run over for the remaning 58 minutes. In OT Dion Phaneuf broke up an Edmonton 3 on 1 springing Jake Gardiner Joffrey Lupul (oops thanks Mirtle) to Tim Connolly for the OT winner. Two points. Fin.

I thought Tyler Bozak and Cody Franson played well in addition. This is a short recap because most of you are asleep. Losing sucks.

I was at the game

Amazing, amazing, amazing game.

First, the negative: Leafs played like crap. The D looks lost without Gunnarsson. And if they play that way in Vancouver, they can probably expect an 8-0 curbstomping.

That said:

The Leafs presence in that building was unbelievable. 50-50 at WORST. I’ve been to a few ACC games, but, outside of the playoffs, that is the best Leaf atmosphere I have seen at any game, ever.

Fun part were some of the bitter Oiler fans at the end of the game. Some choice quotes:

“LEAFS SUCK!”
“Sorry bro, can’t hear you from the bottom of the standings!”

“1967!”
“Original! I’ve totally never heard that one before.”
