### First Period

Two goals in this period and one great big miss from Matt Knies to get to 30 goals on the season.

I had the headline and picture all set and Chris Tanev with the buzzer beater. It's hard to complain on defencemen night. The Leafs had pulled the goalie and everything like it was a real game.

### Overtime

It's unfair that Tanev and Myers are unlikely to play in OT.

This game turned out to be hilariously fun. 

Final score is 4-3 for the Leafs irregulars. 

Next game is Sunday, buckle up for the playoffs.
