Leafs/Bruins – 4-3 OT Win Live From ACC Press Row

by on March 9, 2010- 462 Comments

KULEMIN with the game winner, and that's all folks!!! Leafs win 4-3 in a thrilling overtime victory!

Now, wasn't that an appropriate Torontosaurus Rex?!

That was the Leafs first OT victory of the season. (1-9)

It feels like a spring day, almost like a playoff date.
This isn't a playoff game by any stretch .. There are some interesting scenarios playing out even before puck drop.

Here's the game thread ... you can also follow along on Twitter, @KatsHockey

This is the first game At home for newest Leaf, Luca Caputi (Now with his first goal as a Leaf!!).

This is the first game after the devastating hit my Matt Cooke taking out Savard.

This is the first game At home that will not feature Alex Ponikarovsky as a Leaf.

This is the first game in which Phil Kessel scores his first point as a Leaf against his former club (maybe) ... (Yes! After a change in scoring on the second goal, he got his first assist versus his old team)

The Leafs have given up powerplay markers in consecutive games after going five games without letting in a power play goal.

Despite being one season removed from having won the Vezina Trophy this is the second consecutive start for Tim Thomas I the last games.

And the Puck has dropped .. I'll be refreshing about every 10-15 minutes

Look, I'm not saying I'm a good luck charm, but I attend the game in the press box and a whole lot of good happens .. Caputi's first as a Bud, Kessel registering his first assist .. Just call me lucky Kats.

End of Regulation 3-3

In the end, perhaps the player to best describe the trades is ... Wayne Primeau?

After all, the former Flame has been through this before.

Pre-game: Bruins vs. Leafs

It appears Curtis Joseph, who let in four goals on nine shots last night, is not the second coming of Christ. Justin Pogge, who replaced Joseph mid-way through the second period, made 14 saves, allowing one goal in the 23 minutes and 30 seconds he played.

You what that means? It's Pogge time against the Boston Bruins tonight! If Pogge can hold the fort, he'll likely get the nod against the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday – which will mark the final game of Martin Gerber's three-game suspension.
