Even though Ovechkin scored his 12th goal in 11 career games against the Leafs, they managed to beat the Caps for the second consecutive time tonight, this one by way of a 3-2 shoot out win. Which is an aspect of the Leafs game that has improved tremendously under new coach Ron Wilson.
Martin Gerber, who has been a welcome addition to the team showed a bit of a temper tonight, going after referee Mike Leggo for what he saw as a non-call. Brooks Liach scored the tying goal for Washington by pushing Gerber with the puck under him, across the goal line.
He may have had a point. He was however ejected from the game, receiving a 10 min unsportsmanlike, and a game misconduct with only 56 seconds left to be played.
Cujo came on in relief to stop all 9 shots he faced in overtime, then kept the door closed in the shoot-out, while Jeff Hamilton for the Leafs was the only scorer on either side.
Cujo was astounding tonight coming on in relief, he will likely get the start Friday when the Buds shuffle off to Buffalo put a dagger in the hearts of all those Sabres fans. As always, you can hear all of the action live right here on, Bench Brawl!
