I was talking to my friend and said this could go any two ways

1: the Leafs barely win, because they take control of the "rusty" Flyers (this would be accomplished if they scored first, i think. remember, w/o the deflection it was a 1-1 hockey game coming into the third)

2: the Leaf barely lose because they're playing on adreneline from game seven.

what i don't really understand is this: why are the leafs flying back home only to fly down saturday afternoon? wouldn't it make more sense to kick back at the hotel and not accumlate all those frequently flyer miles? i know in a way it's good for them to rest @ home, in their own beds, but still....away from toronto media for 2 whole days......

speaking of which. THIS benefits the leafs. 4 days of rest between yesterday and sunday and games 3-4 i think. that's pefect for Sundin/Nolan who when they come back should make a HUGE difference....

Hele Lau Hele!
