Is there anything better than the Leafs and Habs on Hockey Night in Canada? The answer is yes, a Leafs victory over the Habs on Hockey Night in Canada. With about a half a minute remaining in regulation, Mats Sundin carried the puck into the offensive zone along the right wing boards and I could sense something positive was about to happen. I knew we were winning this game without the aid of overtime. A streak like the one the blue and white are currently on can have this kind of effect on ones sense of optimism. Sundin took a shot that was redirected by a Montreal defender over the shoulder of Jose Theodore for his league-leading fifth game-winning goal of the season.
The exciting victory further extended their franchise record for consecutive games registering at least a point to 14. To put this into perspective, the Leafs have secured 26 of a possible 28 points during this streak. It's been a month since they lost in regulation. Our lead in the North East division is a hefty 9 points. Imagine what will happen when our most talented player returns?
