LEAFS WIN! LEAFS WIN! LEAFS WIN!
Nazem Kadri scores one of the most amazing goals I've ever seen and Jean-Sebastien Giguere (and posts) holds on for the W.

Bruins 1 @ Leafs 1: Three the hard way
No scoring in the second frame. Leafs killed off the lone Bruins PP of the game (thus far) and continue to pepper Tim Thomas with shots. It's going to take something special to beat Thomas tonight. Colton Orr even looks like a real NHLer next to Nazem Kadri.
Bruins 1 @ Leafs 1: Second period style
Not a terrible period of hockey. Outside of a brutal turnover by Tim Brent, the Leafs were OK. Carl Gunnarsson goes to the far post and pots an easy one (hmmmmmm....). Could be a lot worse.

Tim Thomas vs. Jean-Sebastien Giguere
J-S Giguere enters this game as the proud owner of the 38th best save percentage among qualified goaltenders. Behind him on the list are only Antti Niemi, Mike Smith, Dan Ellis, Nikolai Khabibulin and Rick DiPietro. Tim Thomas' 0.
Maple Leafs 0 v. Oilers 5: Dead Man Walking
I was driving to my soccer game, listening to the Dennis Beyak and Jim Ralph call the game, when the Oilers scored their second goal. The troubling aspect was that they immediately noted how the team's heads fell and that they did not comfort poor Jonas Gustavsson as

I get it guys, Nikolai Khabibulin's save percentage makes Edmonton long for Vesa Toskala and their defense gives up lots of shots per game (2nd most in the league). The thing is the Leafs aren't much better in the standings and play
Leafs 3 Lightning 4 (OT)
Good teams find ways to win games, bad teams find ways to lose them. As soon as the Leafs got stuck in their own zone in the third period it was the same old story; a late tying goal and an OT backbreaker the first time anyone on the Leafs
Maple Leafs 2 v. Lightning 1
Ryan Malone scores on a nice play by Simon Gagne and Nikolai Kulemin replies with a laser past Dan Ellis. 20 minutes to some relief. The buds need to close this out.
Maple Leafs 1 v. Lightning 0
The Leafs scored first after a hilarious Dan Ellis mistake, they are killing penalties with gusto, and Gustavsson is playing up to his name. Here's your second period thread. Time to forget the disallowed goal because when the Leafs win by 5 it won't matter.
The Emergence of the Crabb
Tonight the Tampa Bay Lightning are in town led by the king of the powerplay goal, Steven Stamkos. If the Leafs hope to cage him, they'll need to get their PK legs back under them as that's where Stammer does half of his feasting (10PPG out

Maple Leafs 4 v. Stars 1: Routine Win
The Toronto Maple Leafs picked up a 4-1 win over the Dallas Stars that I think can only be described as 'routine'. When Jonas Gustavsson was called upon, he made a save but he only had to make 22 to pick up the win. Penalties were killed competently,
