That's the way they've gotta do it in the playoffs.
Keep it tight, goalie has to be good, and win the special teams PP and PK.
LA is one of the best home teams in the league this season so this is a good showing for them.

It was nice to see an original 12 matchup.

Here's an interesting stat. Domi leads the Leafs in penalty minutes with 67. Connor Bedard has 62. He would be second on the Leafs. He has more penalty minutes than his teammates Bertuzzi and Foligno.

Speaking of LA vs Toronto here's Gretzky's high stick on Gilmour again.
Prior to this play Glenn Anderson was called for roughing with 12 seconds remaining in the 3rd period in a tied game. So the infamous high stick was in overtime while Leafs were killing a penalty. LA, Toronto, Montreal were all 3rd in their respective Divisions. All the favourites were knocked out.

Nice hair, though.

According to wiki:
a "high stick" is defined as a stick held above the height of its holder's shoulders.
Matthews is taller than Marner so there you have it.

The Leafs gained a pt on Florida tonight. However, the problem is that Tampa has won 4 games in a row. The final 8 games of the season, should be very interesting. It would be nice to see the Leafs finish first in the Atlantic division.

If the Leafs could pull this off, they would most likely play Ottawa in the first round of the playoffs.

I'm not sure that would be a better thing. If Florida limps into the playoffs(4-5-1 in their last 10) it might be better to play them with the Leafs having home ice advantage.

I'd rather have the Leafs play Ottawa. TB and Florida scare me much more as Leaf potential 1'st round playoff opponents then Ottawa does!!
