It was nice to see the Leafs break their losing streak, although I would have preferred they did so against someone other than the Bruins. The game was yet another argument against the shootout. As Jack Edwards, the Boston play-by-play man, put it at the end of overtime: "Now this game will be settled by a gimmick."
Kudos to the crowd in Toronto for giving Tyler Seguin a cheer for his textbook-beautiful assist in the second period, when he set up Campbell for a goal. It's always nice when real hockey fans respond to good playing, even by the opposing team.
