Puck You! The Legend Returns
Friday, May 12, 2006
Wow, behind by two goals twice in this game, Edmonton has scored four unanswered goals to go up 5-3 on the San Jose Sharks! What a game! Vesa Toskala got chased, Evgeni Nabokov is in! Oh man!
Also, one of the craziest goals I've seen tonight to tie the game up at 3. The Sharks, at the tail end of a powerplay, took a shot which had a crazy bounce back through centre ice. The puck moved towards the goal, Toskala went for the puck to clear, but it hit Samsonov who scored on the empty net on the backhand.
In other news, Paul Maurice got hired as the Leafs head coach today. No surprise given the fact he was coaching the Toronto Marlies, the Leafs' AHL affiliate. I don't mind Maurice, and if he keeps to his word that he'll build a team more like San Jose, Anaheim or Buffalo, then great! But I still don't care for Leafs GM John Ferguson, and he needs to bring in more youth for Maurice to work with.
