Despite twice blowing a two goal lead, the Leafs won their fourth in a row last night when Ken Klee scored a power-play goal 4:44 into overtime. Eric Lindros scored his sixth goal of the season, all the more impressive considering the quality of his linemates. Lindros is part of a new Crazy 8's line with Tie Domi and Chad Kilger, hardly a list of intimidating offensive superstars.
Other than the blown leads, there was a number of positives last night. Alexander Steen continues to improve with each game, Darcy Tucker seems to have renewed skills, Ed Belfour made big stops including one in overtime that saved the day and the Leafs managed to grab the two points without embarrassing themselves in another shootout.
Four in a row... whodathunk it? Oh yeah, I did.
