He did it. On the bench at least. - Author: Species - Tags: From The Branches Before we get to the bug, there's that matter of the Leafs losing again last night, though this time they made it to OT and collected one EXP in the battle. Here's our recap of last night's game: [Maple Leafs Lose to Bruins in OvertimeIt was not the worst game of the year for the Leafs, but it sure wasn’t the best either.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/size/w256h256/2024/09/PPP-Goalie-Logo_RGB.png)PPP LeafsCathy Squires![](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1530743373890-f3c506b0b5b1?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=M3wxMTc3M3wwfDF8c2VhcmNofDEzfHxncmV5JTIwc2t5c3xlbnwwfHx8fDE3Mjk5OTQxNDl8MA&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&q=80&w=2000)](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/maple-leafs-lose-to-bruins-in-overtime/) Here's the post-game media conference. The Marlies also lost 2-1 in a shootout last night to the Belleville Senators, but it was their first loss of the season after winning six games in a row and so they still sit first in the entire AHL with a points % of 0.929 after seven games-played. Denis Hildeby was in net for the Marlies after being returned on loan from the Leafs. He let in only the one goal on 34 SOG. ### Other News Is Doug Melvin the oldest an most prolific EBUG ever? He hasn't played a professional game since 1993, but at 61 years old he has still suited up almost every year since then to sit on the bench as an emergency backup goalie for ECHL teams in the mid-west US. > This is incredible. Melvin may have one of my favorite [@eliteprospects](https://twitter.com/eliteprospects?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) pages I've ever seen.
