Leafs Win! Leafs Win!

The wait is finally over. The Leafs have won a game. After losing all of their first 8 games, the seemingly impossible has happened. The Leafs defeated the Anaheim Ducks 6-3. The Ducks are Leafs’ General Manager Brian Burke’s former team, so there was extra pride for him after the game.

The Leafs still struggled to score at even strength, as five of the six goals came during powerplays. Jonas Gustavsson played well in net, stopping 25 of the 28 shots he faced. Three Leafs players in particular had great games: Niklas Hagman (3 goals), Lee Stempniak (1 goal, 3 assists) and Tomas Kaberle (1 goal, 4 assists). This is a huge win for a floundering team.
