close game with the Rangers too. THe leafs are quickly proving to be a better team than everyone expected for a rebuilding year. I think the leafs might flirt with .500 and unfortunately that will take us out of the tavares/hedman draft.

To this day i still think the SHOOTOUT is just a gimmick and not a real way decide the outcome of a match. Sure its a crowd pleaser but really to only shallow fans who don't really know much about the game.

It would be like having a homerun derby in baseball to decide the outcome of tie game after 9 innings and 1 extra inning of overtime.

How is that supposed to say a team is better than another team? All it is a simply a skills competition of individuals.

Just leave it a hard-earned TIE and stop adding all these LOSSES when really they aren't losses from shootouts.

The leafs 1-4 record should really be more like 1-1-2 which shows how competitive they have been so far.

Thank God they don't use shootouts for playoffs (but they probably will).
It would suck if baseball went to a homerun derby in the 11th inning to decide the world series. How stupid would that be.
