Panthers VS Leafs (4-3)

1st Period: B-E-A-UTIFUL goal by Niklas Hagman goal of the year for any Maple Leaf that's for sure. Weak goal for Toskala to let in he always seems to be to far back in his net something that really bothers his coaches. I loved the hard work by the Moore line to get the lead back at the end of the 1st period. Should be a brilliant 2nd period if the Leafs can keep it up.

2nd Period: Antropov scores his 3rd in 3 games and is on fire lately, Jason Blake also has another point. Toskala looked very sharp for someone who is having apparent groin issues, he is very square and is challenging nicely. The Dominic Moore line had to be one of the top lines in the NHL as of late they have been clicking at a torrent pace and I hope that can continue.

3rd Period: You know for some reason I saw this coming! The Leafs played terribly in front of Toskala (Not that he was any better) and Ponikarovsky ended a rather good game for him in a bad way. Stupid penalties continue to hamper the Leafs at times when they should be trying to lock up the game.

OT Period: Another blown lead and another loss, as I've been saying all season the Leafs aren't bad enough to hit rock bottom and they aren't good enough to make the postseason.
