Discipline has been key in this leafs winning streak. Much less pressure on the pk when we are mostly avoiding the box.

Yeah. They're falling back to earth, and it makes Washington a little less of a threat to knock the Leafs out of a spot, since they likely pass Florida first.

Any way Kessel can get an assist on the Lupul winning goal? He needs another point in the scoring race.

I feel like someone deserves an assist on the Kessel penalty shot goal. I didn't see who it was, but there wouldn't have been a play, nor a penalty to call, were it not for that pass. Doesn't make sense that they don't credit them, when you think about it.Stronger Than All said:Any way Kessel can get an assist on the Lupul winning goal? He needs another point in the scoring race.
Anyway, that was a thriller. I can hardly believe that they pulled that one off! pnjunction is right on the money: discipline has been the key in their last 3 games. Their mood just seems to be more positive, too; more talking and smiles on the bench between plays. Lupul especially seems to be having a ball out there, and he played one hell of a game.
Also, they're doing a much, much better job of blocking shots, instead of just screening the goalie. 20 blocked shots tonight, and nothing in on the screen.

I had that very same thought. I forgot who sprung him, but he ought to get a Delayed Assist.

What was also unbelievable was the stat shown that the Leafs also have the youngest defense in the league, by a large margin. Average age 23.8 tonight, and next youngest defense was the Rangers at something between 25.0 and 25.9.
The average age of our D corps is 25.4 years. It drops slightly to 25 years if you include Keith Aulie, although he is not a regular at this point. The average age of the D corps that played this game was 24.6 years. Whoever calculated that stat must have thought Gardiner was playing instead of Komisarek, in which case it would have been 23.3 years.
Still, the point is made. They are young.
