Leafs Win One For The New Guy

Last night the Leafs put on a nailbiting show for the new guy. Mats Sundin scored with 29.2 seconds left in the third period to lift the Buds to a 3-2 victory just minutes after Semin scored to tie the game. Ovechkin was his normal self, shooting, scoring and double-shifting. Many players tend to fade after signing multi-million dollar contracts especially in the length of Ovechkin's but he seems to be relishing in the spotlight. Alexander the Great has a six game point streak in that time since signing on the dotted line. Toronto seems to be treading water for the time being but if these winning ways don't continue expect the heat to be put on Fletcher and the front office to make the changes needed for a playoff push or extensive rebuilding sequence.
