Polak done for the year per Babcock post-game presser.

That was nasty and the Leafs will miss him for sure. He's played very well the last month. Let's hope Zaitsev is ready to go...we need him..

Polak out for the year that is a huge loss, understatement

I dunno, there are people around here who think Polak sucks. I'm not one of them. Huge loss. Yuge.

He's not an elite D man but ask every single coach that had him and they will tell you they love em.

The Leafs will take it to game 7 and their defense will be Marincin, Dermott, Jamie Macoun, that face painted beard guy and a cardboard cut-out of Tim Horton.

That face painted beard guy would probably be a good Polak replacement.

Watching Polak and Manson the last while I feel that Polak can play the same role without giving up any assets.

And Shattenkirk, who deserted DC after game 4 and was granted asylum by Lou.
 
The people who are Jim Hughson defenders are really going to have to work on this one. He legitimately seemed to care more about Carlson losing his stick than the goal that got scored.
 
2 overtime games and an evened up series coming back home against the president trophy winners has to be good for this young teams confidence.

Could we get Bob Cole back please?

Seriously. Hughson is completely atonal. His call on that OT goal sounded like he was reporting an icing or plugging a CBC sitcom. Get him away from the Leafs.

I personally don't like Jim. There something robotic or lacking of emotion from the games I've watched.

Yep I'm pretty flabbergasted. I don't need the guy to be a leaf fan but i can't figure out what the hell happened there. Have to hope they bring someone else in for next game. Anyone at all.
 
Awesome game! Kapanen now has more NHL playoff goals than regular season goals and is the 1st Leaf to score a playoff multi-OT winner on the road since Frank Mahovlich in 1960! Freddie was spectacular in net to keep the Buds in the game, particularly in the early going. Boyle sure made up for his penalty with the assist on the winner. Gruesome looking injury to Polak that will end his season, will be a big loss on the blueline. Kudos to the rest of the D for stepping up and playing big minutes the rest of the way. Hopefully Zaitsev is ready to go for game 3, otherwise Marchenko will be taking Polak's spot.
In some ways I feel the long overtime served the Leafs well with all the young legs on the team, felt they had more in the tank at the end than the Caps did.

I can't wait for Game 3!
GO LEAFS GO!
