Well it wasn't the prettiest of wins but it's 2 points at the end of the day. That's what matters most. This was a big character win for the Leafs who showed they were able to once again battle from behind and come back to tie just as they did against the Avalanche on Monday night. Last night though had a much more positive ending with the Buds winning, potting 2 nice goals in their first shoot out of the season. The goals were scored by Lupul and Frattin. Then Reimer did his job turning away the two shooters he faced. The first 2 periods we're not the greatest for the Leafs especially for the forwards after 37 minutes in to the game only 4 of the 12 had shots on net and with Armstrong getting injured early on it was really more like 4 of 11. Hopefully they can get off to a better start tonight, which I think will really be required with Gustavsson getting the nod tonight. A quick start out of the gate and some good defense, the Leafs could continue their winning ways by taking advantage of a struggling Bruins team. So now the Leafs are 4-0-1 to start the season. The Leaf's have taken 9 of a possible 10 points and are now sitting in 3rd place only behind first place by 1 point. Tonight with a win and a Pittsburgh and Washington loss they can leap in to first place. So catch the game tonight and cheer your Leafs on.
