Thankfully the Leafs don't have to see the Sharks again this season. 0-0-2. Two shootout losses,
But let's be half the glass full on this one, Toronto down 5-3 with under a minute left and they tied it up to send to OT. So a bonus point. Which has now reduced their magic # to clinch a playoff spot to 6 (points).
The Woll start was a little surprising, consider Stolraz track record against them.
Stolarz has more games against San Jose than any other team he's faced and by a lot, 14 games against the Sharks, which is twice as much as his next frequent opponent.
He's 10-1-1 in his career against San Jose, including a perfect 6-0-0 in the Shark Tank.
Nylander scored twice including the tying goal to send it to OT. Willie and Tavares have been on fire lately, with JT extending his point streak to 5 games with a goal and an assist. With the two goals, Nylander sits on a career best 42 goals, do I hear 50?
Next up for Toronto is a Southern California weekend.
The Kings were shutout in Denver on Thursday. L.A. has been insane at home this season, 26-3-4, 64 goals against. Kings have a current 7 game win streak at home, with just 7 goals against. It will take a full 60 minutes for the Leafs to crown them.
I will tee up the Saturday night festivities tomorrow morning.
