Last nights Toronto Maple Leafs game against the Buffalo Sabres is a prime example of why it is so hard to be a Leafs fan.
With a comfortable 2-0 lead at one point in the game, the Leafs managed to find a way to fall apart. The Sabres were without star goaltender Ryan Miller and offensive forward Drew Stafford. Despite this, the Sabres managed to get the game within a goal before pulling their goalie with under a minute remaining.
This is the moment where my blood starts to boil.
The Sabres manage to apply pressure, and with only a few seconds remaining, Johan Hecht (who had not scored yet this season) manages to tuck the puck past the outstretched pad of Leafs starting netminder JS Giguere. WHY!!!
There goes two points, to a team in our conference. In our division.
Ok it's not over yet, Toronto can still pick up a pair in OT.
The game undecided after OT then heads to a shootout.
I hate shootouts, mainly because I know the Leafs aren't stacked with goal scorers.
Of course in the end after falling behind then coming back, the Leafs manage to lose.
One point when it should have been two, haven't heard that story before.
