no Sundin, no Antropov. scoring leaders are hurt (groin and knee, respectively) and unable to skate.
together, they tally 58 goals and 129 points this season.
As it says on the maple leafs website, without these two, we are weak in the middle.
to mix my sports metaphors, let's see who steps up to bat.

[Oli Jokinen!]

Man Blue your leafs are taking a thwacking. Just a question, how long with they be injured?

[blueandwhite]

Sundin has a tear and they say 2 weeks. Antropov is around the same length of recovery.
not good.

[Oli Jokinen!]

Yea. Sorry Blue.

First period, power play for the leafs, Toskala gets scored on by a clearing shot by Islander Rob davison.
Davison shot from the edge of Dubie's net and it bounced all the way down to Toskala who seemed to be waiting for it and then it just bounced right past him and into the net.
Nice start.

[blueandwhite]

Yet, we won.
Nice one.
So Dipietro is having an MRI on his hip and Dubie is slated to most likely finish the season for the NYI.
We didn't get on the board until the 3rd, and the hero - again - is Kubina. He is a defenceman and he's scored 4 goals in his last 4 games - and 3 of them have been game winners.
stop keeping my hopes alive!
