Hey, Look what I can do!!!!!

The Leafs won their third in a row, and second against New Jersey this year in a shoot out. Blake scored in the shootout, after Antripov and Williams scored as well to help the Leafs to a 3-2 win in a shoot out.

Williams who scored in his third straight game, and has apparently, provided some spark, scored the go ahead goal for the Leafs in the second period. The opportunistic winger, also scored in the shoot out to put the Leafs ahead and setting the stage for Jason Blakes shoot out winner.

With less than ten seconds to go in overtime Toskala stopped Travis Zajac on a breakaway to send it to a shoot out. Toskala for the leafs and Clemmenson for the Devils, each face a total of 27 shots. The Leafs improve to 12-12-6 and remain in 11th in the east just three points out of a playoff spot.

Toronto's next action comes Thursday night in Bean Town at 7:00 pm, and as always, you can listen to the game live, right hear on Bench Brawl!

Leafs make it 2 in a row!

Vesa Toskala made 24 saves to keep the Leafs in it until Ian white ( and the Stash ), scored past the half way point in the third to help the team to their second straight victory. Which incidentally, keeps them in 11th in the east, only 3 points out of a playoff spot.You can find the box score here.

I know, I know, we don't want them to make the playoffs. But let me tell ya, it sure is exciting to watch most of the time. Except for the game against San Jose earlier in the month, I'm fairly certain that I have yet to see a team just completely dominate this young Toronto team.

There are several problems with this team, though, none that can't be addressed. Let's start with Kabby. Almost everyone is calling for his head, ( including yours truly ). I may have been a bit pre-mature. As my wife like to point out. The thing is, there are several schools of thought when it comes to him. I said last week that I thought perhaps he wasn't as good a defense man as everyone had first thought, and maybe without McCabe and Gill around to make him look good, maybe, just maybe, we were seeing his true talent level. Another thought is, he's disoriented. Entirely possible, given the fact that prior to this year, he had spent the past ten years or so, pretty well playing with the same group of guys, and the same coaches. Now, everything is different. Not to mention the fact that because everyone else is gone, he may be worried about the same thing happening to him. If Burke does trade him, what will he get in return. There are a couple of defence man in the system, the could turn into good puck movers, but who knows really. So, do you make the trade straight up for a defense man of a similar quality, just to shake things up, or do you trade for prospects and hope someone in the system, develops into the role?

Today is a rare Saturday of for the buds who don't see action again until Tuesday when the Devils come to town. As always, you can hear the game live, right here on Bench Brawl!
