Leafs Stay Alive for at Least One More Day

Wow!

What a game! I thought it was all over when Montreal scored 4 unanswered goals, including a natural hat trick, and Shakey Raycroft got pulled. Thought that was it.

Somehow the boys found a way.

It was a sloppy game with terrible goaltending, flukey goals, weak defensive play and still no goal by Sundin. Although the captain had game a great effort and lead with 8 shots and 3 assists. And yes they scored high on Raycroft's glove hand but it was Don Cherry not Harry Neale who claimed he didn't have a chance. In fact I thought the Leafs were finished on that second goal by the Canadiens which was a 40-foot wrist shot off of Raycroft's glove. I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out how he didn't catch it.

Leaf Nation will have to hope that the Devils take tomorrow's game seriously and beat the Islanders.
