Well this game marked the last game of the season that I was planning on going to. Good seats too. Section 114 Row 17. Can’t go wrong with those. I was excited to see some goals too, as I was behind Miller for 2 periods. There was a lot of scoring… but it was at the other end of the ice… and into the Leafs net.

The loss of Sundin to his groin tear was very noticeable. Sundin has taken 1680 faceoffs this year (167 more than anyone) and has won 921 (70 more than anyone). He has won almost 400 more than the next Leaf (Stajan) and taken 558 more (than Stajan as well).

Steen took 21 faceoffs and went 5-16. Stajan took 29, and went 8-21. Anyone see an issue here? When your top two lines can’t win faceoffs, the opposition has the advantage. How many goals would have been saved if Sundin had won his faceoffs, and the Leafs had possession of the puck?

The game was ugly. The Leafs got their shots, but were sloppy on both sides of the ice. We all know Sundin is this teams MVP, and the above stats attest to that even more.

The Stamkos Prize at the end of year will be getting closer and closer with every game the Leafs play.
