I also think Muz's loss was a major -- if not the -- deciding factor, perhaps even beyond the goaltending duel. The Leafs simply had nobody at all able to step into his minutes/role. The same would have been true if Matthews had gone down, or to only a slightly lesser extent Tavares or Reilly...

One of Ceci's most endearing qualities is that he isn't 4 more years of Zaitsev at $4.75M. I'd happily take him at close to league min as our 7th D and let Marincin sink down into being the first call-up from the Marlies.

Bob McKenzie announced his "soft retirement" where he will step back from the day-to-day hockey world and now only contribute once in a while on special occasions (World Juniors, Trade Deadline Day, etc). The end of an era...I may not always have agreed with him but I've always respected his...

I was with HS in approximate preference for winning this. When I saw the headline flash that the Rangers won the lottery my first thought was actually "I'm so [bleeping] glad it wasn't the Oilers" followed shortly by similar relief it wasn't the Pens. I don't mind at all that it goes to NYR...

Matthews HM Spezza...I don't like fighting in hockey, in general, but him dropping the gloves when he did was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Woohoo! Nick's 56th of the season.

Willy's been really good today working extra-hard...and gets rewarded for it.

ROFL...Ceci?!

I think that qualifies as a "good" penalty. Hard to fault Dermott for that decision.

I like seeing Matthews throw the body once in a while like he did on that play. He usually just does the fly-by if the puck is gone. Good to see him throw his weight around a bit.

Four months without competitive hockey doesn't help either.

I'm getting this feeling that it might be the 3rd line that's the difference in this game.

Classy move from Keefe to put Robertson out there with Mats and Willy at the end with an empty net. Give the kid a chance to score his first pro goal

Brilliant strategy by Ceci. Take another penalty to get the scorers on the ice and open up our lead even further!

Doesn't hurt to be a Harvard grad.

It is indeed. Now he just needs a goal and a fight.

This SN/CBC broadcast is painfully bad. I'd give my eye teeth for Gord & Ray and just let James do the intermission as a monologue.

Didn't like the way they just gave Gallagher a straight open walk into the slot for a clear shot on goal.

Now he just needs to add a goal, an assist and a fight...
