Leafs Knock Avalanche Down

The Maple Leafs easily beat a team on Saturday that has recently struggled over the last few weeks and showed that they can be a dominant team when they want to be. The Leafs scored three early goals that got them off to a great start; however, they let their undisciplined play take over in the second period allowing the Avalanche to cut the lead to 3-2. The Leafs got a big goal with a few seconds left on the clock at the end of the second period by Mats Sundin which put the game out of reach.

Tomorrow, the Leafs will put their hopes of finishing in first place in the Eastern Conference on the line as they take on the conference leading Tampa Bay Lightning. Should the Leafs win tomorrow, they will have a real good shot at finishing first as they have five games left in the season. If they loose, they will likely finish elsewhere in the conference.
