Toronto 2, Kings 1
Toronto had a 5-on-3 power play for 13 seconds, and they capitalized during that time. Matt Stajan scored on a scrum in front of the net at 2:09 in the third period. The Kings still had the 5-on-4 power play to kill but failed as 1:21 after Stajan's goal, Mikhail Grabovski scored a power play goal on a pass from John Mitchell. And just like that, the Kings' one-goal lead turned into a one-goal deficit.
Sean O'Donnell was penalized for tripping at 12 seconds, and Dustin Brown made it a two-man advantage for the Leafs when he was penalized for tripping at 1:59.

How embarrassing letting the Leafs out play you.
I don't know if this is just me, but it seems as though the kings have let in a goal on almost every 5 on 3 this year.
LaBarbara is not a good goalie at all, with him in net it is an automatic 0 points that night :(
KingRu - That's a stupid comment.
Arron - The Leafs looked good with some promising young talent. Just like the Kings. I'm impressed by Schenn and Finger, not having seen them very much. Not saying Schenn is better than Doughty, but I'd love to have him in LA in addition.
There's no shame in losing that game, if you ask me. It was a great hockey game, despite the horrible, piss-poor, slushie ice conditions.
