Leafs Play Awful, Win 4-3 in OT

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 think this calls for a song!
It’s subparkomifingerniewskivesalebdatrocious!
Although it may seem quite fine, it’ll make you very nauseous.
If you play it long enough, it makes the rink quite noxious.
Subparkomifingerniewskivesalebdatrocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle I’m gonna die!
Um diddle diddle diddle I’m gonna die!
Um diddle diddle diddle I’m gonna die!
Um diddle diddle diddle I’m gonna die!
Because I couldn’t find a route
I’d always lose the puck
Sent to the line but never out
Great, it was just my luck!
But then one game, I learned the term
And it’s been downhill since
There’s one thing you can all confirm
I’ll make plays that make you wince!
Oh, subparkomifingerniewskivesalebdatrocious!
Although it may seem quite fine, it’ll make you very nauseous.
If you play it long enough, it makes the rink quite noxious.
Subparkomifingerniewskivesalebdatrocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle I’m gonna die!
Um diddle diddle diddle I’m gonna die!
Um diddle diddle diddle I’m gonna die!
Um diddle diddle diddle I’m gonna die!
Vesa travlled around the world
And everywhere he went
Tells of past success, and they’d say,
“His mind’s really bent.”
After Lebda in a 9-3 win
Somehow went minus-three
I asked Poile for Cody Franson
He added Lombardi!
Oh, subparkomifingerniewskivesalebdatrocious!
Although it may seem quite fine, it’ll make you very nauseous.
If you play it long enough, it makes the rink quite noxious.
Subparkomifingerniewskivesalebdatrocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle I’m gonna die!
Um diddle diddle diddle I’m gonna die!
So when Komisarek makes a play
It’s time to really pray
Just imagine the word
And the world is not as grey
But better use it carefully
Or it may change the game…
For example?
Yes?
One night I said it to me friends
And we knew who to blame.
Oh, and we miss Mats Sundin too!
They’re subparkomifingerniewskivesalebdatrocious!
Subparkomifingerniewskivesalebdatrocious
Subparkomifingerniewskivesalebdatrocious
Subparkomifingerniewskivesalebdatrocious!

If you want, I'll add something more positive
Habs and Sens of every size,
Wouldn’t you like to see a wonderful prize?
Come with Reims, and you will see
This, our home, is the ACC.
This is ACC! This is ACC!
Penguins stopped by Optimus Reim
This is ACC!
Where Armstrong makes a screen
Grabovski’s gonna score some highlight reel goals!
It’s our home, Naz with a nifty goal
In this place of ACC.
I will lurk behind your defender’s head,
Fly to the net and lights glow red.
Dion is one that hunt for puny head,
You look scared and want to avoid being dead.
This is ACC! This is ACC!
ACC! ACC! ACC! ACC!
In this place, we call home,
Everyone loves when Kulemin scores!
In this house, don’t we love it now?
Everybody’s waiting for a Burkie tweet!
In Buffalo, you’ll see Lupul criticize
Its wealth of windows, making locals go out and…
Whine! This is ACC!
Blue n’ white, not too red.
Are you afraid?
Well, that’s just fine!
Score a goal, once or twice,
Soon a thrashing will suffice.
Ride on Monster’s back while Reims is down.
Everybody cheer! Everybody cheer!
In our home of ACC!
I am the guy that will throw a mower,
From the antannae of the CN Tower.
I am the one who will glide past you,
Make nifty moves while your skates are glued.
I am your nightmare if you cross the line,
Chad LaRose, if you want to drop ‘em that’s fine!
This is ACC! This is ACC!
ACC! ACC! ACC! ACC!
Wonderful times, wins are here
The home crowd needs to stand and cheer!
What a site, don’t you now see
In our home of ACC.
In this place!
Don’t we love it now?
Everybody’s waiting for a Kessel goal!
Borje Salming, strikes when you’re not listening,
And Clark will destroy you,
You’ll wish for the ‘08 Leafs,
This is ACC, everyone glee!
Won’t you please shut up about the Phil Kessel trade!
Our main star is king of the shooting range,
He will shoot down all your netminders!
This is ACC! This is ACC!
ACC! ACC! ACC! ACC!
In this place we call home,
Everyone cheer for the brand new Leafs!
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la laaaaa!!

There's a great bench celebration video on Leafs.com someone needs to gif!
Bleeding Blue and White since '88
Follow me @JoeyFerg for Leafs related info and other ramblings,
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.”
