Capitals VS Maple Leafs (2-3)

1st Period: The Leafs are 9-4-1 in 14 games and are 8 pts out of a playoff spot while its still unlikely they make the playoffs don't tell them that. In this game alone there defensive effort and goaltending has been better than any effort all season long. Despite Luke Schenns tiny give away in the period he was dominant over Ovechkin for most of the period. The Grabovski line looks dangerous again and will definitley be one of the lines to watch to break the current stalemate.

Goals: NO GOALS

2nd Period: Phil Oreskovic has become the 6th Leaf this year to score his 1st NHL goals good for him and congrats. Now on to Ovechkin as fun as he is sometimes his antics like Sean Averys are getting tiresome claiming he will score 4 goals against the Leafs tonight and then actually raising his finger to show he has scored 1 is really showing what kind of ass a nine player he can sometimes be. Anyways enough of that despite the penalty the Leafs had another very sound defensive period, should be an exciting 3rd.

Goals:
Toronto: #40 Phil Oreskovic

Washington: #8 Alexander Ovechkin

3rd Period: This was 2 sides of hell! Gerber was great and had every right to be pissed about the goal. He was cleary pushed into the net by Brooks Laich and the referee knew that. I seriously hope the NHL investigates that call. Besides that Curtis Joseph comes in and stands on his head, and really saved the game.

Goals:
Toronto: #84 Mikhail Grabovski

Washington: #21 Brooks Laich

OT Period: This was the Curtis Joseph he was amazing and truly brought back some good memorys for Leaf fans. If the Leafs have any hope of still making the playoffs I think Wilson needs to give some serious thought to starting Joseph for a lot of the remaining games.

Goals: NO GOALS

Shootout Goals:
Toronto: #51 Jeff Hamilton
