5-0, penalty shot by Dowd, yay Caps. Rinse City.
Ovechkin makes it 6-0, absolute slaughter.

Leafs over ager 4th round pick Mac Hollowell joins Marlies from the Soo.

Possible sleeper pick. Longer term project. Jared Sprugeon type.

24g - 53a - 77p

Leading all D-men in scoring in the OHL

Second was Ryan Merkley; 14g - 57a - 71p

Third was Bode Wilde; 19g -51- 70p

More goals the Bode Wilde, more points than Ryan Mekley; 118th overall pick.

Praise Dubeezus.

If the Leafs lose today, they'll have another shot at their Vietnam do over, Game 7 against the Bruins.

Who knows what team will show up, could be the Nanny State Warriors could be the Mike Babcock Country Club.

If they're serious at taking a run at the cup tho, they need to find the killer instinct to finish teams off.

Fourth win is the hardest win. Have to find a way to strangle them in the bathtub somehow.

Matinee game is bad juju.

On the other hand the Loafs routine is to choke, so maybe breaking the routine could be a good thing.

Leafs West strangled Calberta in the bathtub, let's see if the Avs East can do the same to Bostonberta.

I'm bracing myself for a choke. The Hockey Gods have an insatiable appetite for cruelty.

Can't just sit back and let the Hockey Gods do it to you.

The only way to beat the Hockey Gods is to take control of your own destiny and just crush it out of the park.

The Hockey Gods favor those who take control of their own destiny, self fulfilling prophecy.

They can't use the weak defence excuse this time, because the defence is not actually that bad.

Dermott and Gardiner down to the third pair speaks to the upgraded depth.

Defense is not the problem, consistent focus is the only problem at this point.
