[Recap] Leafs 3 at Islanders 1: Oh Dear God
Sometimes you have to see things to believe them (LeafFanInVan via Mirtle):
I spent the rest of the game praying that it wouldn't end 1-0 while two squads shorn of most of their offensive talent tried their best to make a throwaway end of season game one of the more traumatic in recent memory. The prayers were answered (why always the useless ones?) as Kyle Wellwood, yes Poppin' Fresh himself, deflected an Alex Steen shot home. Pavel Kubina then hammered home another GWG past a perfect screen set by Alex Ponikarovsky. Poni then sealed the game after a pass from Steen left him all alone with an empty net and this time no one stripped him and scored on the Leafs. PSC should write angry screeds about each of the Leafs before every period.
In the end Vesa Toskala was able to join the ranks of the unbelievably unlucky. He's in some decent company:
On the bright side, Toskala shook it off and the Leafs kept pace with the Flyers. The dream lives on!...for one more game at least.

We will never forget
this goal; it will be in blooper reels for a century. I'm glad the Leafs won this one. Now I don't mind if they lose another, as long as they didn't lose this one after that. In any case, these things obviously happens to the best.
Phew!
Thankfully Toskala could shake it off and the leafs won anyway. That one won't be back to haunt him I think, unlike salo.
The leafs could have lost the game 8-1 and "that goal" would still be blamed for the loss, so it's great that scenario didn't happen!
Also cloutier
I couldn't find a vid on youtube with a quick search, but Cloutier also let in a soft one, from the red line in this case.. That hurt!
Video
Yeah, I couldn't find it on YouTube! I know it used to be there because I would e-mail it to my Canucks fan friend every week.
Vancouver = Goalie graveyard
I dunno what it is, but goalies come here to die. Poor Luongo, he's next!
