Thoughts From the Leaf Game (39)

1. When you give up the first goal (again) to start the game and to the much maligned Scott Gomez no less, a long night might be in store

2. Montreal scores another goal shortly after Gomez's Powerplay marker and the Habs are up 2-0 n the first. Yeesh.

3. The Leafs have really been taking it to the Habs since going down two. They should have at least 5 goals now but for the superb play of Halak backstopping the Habs.

4. Ian White brings them to within one and Jason Blake ties the game early in the third. Both have been playing well lately and Ian White's contract is rising day by day...

5. That being said how come this team is so lousy at playing 4 on 4? Overtime has not been kind to the Leafs and once more shows haughty disdain for the Leafs tonight.

6. Again they got another point but after outplaying the Habs for most of the night and having momentum on their side, they fall short in Overtime. Like Ian White, Halak has certainly increased his stock value of late and this game was a showpiece for him.
