from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
First came March 16, just eight days ago, and an embarrassing 5-1 loss in Washington to a dreadful Capitals team that was riding a terrible losing streak.
Then came last night.
At one moment, the Leafs were ahead 4-1, with pucks bouncing off referees to assist on goals and the hometown Buffalo Sabres seemingly rattled by the manner in which they were being manhandled by their division rivals.
Crammed with delirious Leaf fans, the HSBC Center rocked with chants of “Miller, Miller” aimed at the Sabres’ all-star puckstopper, Ryan Miller.
Then, as if accompanied by a clap of thunder, it all changed.
read on… Truly a classic game last night. Leafs need to recover quickly for tonight’s rematch, points are at a premium this time of year.

The Toronto Sports Network was not amused last night. But, luckily, most fans outside of Toronto were.

Watched it as it unfolded.
Gotta question Greg Wyshynksi’s #6-ranked NHL head coach not calling a time-out after Buffalo pulled within one, then again failing to do so after the Slugs tied it.
I’m pretty certain even #30-ranked John Stevens would’ve had the presence of mind to figure that one out.
