Does this mean karma is on the Leafs side?

Are they now a team of destiny and on their way to a huge Stanley Cup win?

:amen:

Why not the Washington Capitals?

Why not the Washington Capitals?

Or the Colorado Avalanche...
Or the Hartford Whalers... (wait are they even in the league anymore?)
Or the Carolina Hurricanes...

Bates played for them all and almost won a CUP with Carolina in '02
He was the middle "B" of the BBC line with Rod Brind'Amour and Eric Cole

Er Jon Battaglia was on the 2002 Carolina Team that lost in five games to Detroit.

He was not on the 2006 team that beat the Oilers in seven games for the cup. (3-1. The game 7 final)

From NHL.com: Bates Battaglia made his NHL debut with the Carolina Hurricanes in their inaugural season. Battaglia established himself as a NHL regular with the Hurricanes, enjoying his most successful period as a third of the BBC line (Brind'Amour, Battaglia, Cole) during their 2001–2002 Stanley Cup run.
