Shootouts are better than ties 7 out of 7 days of the week.... Of course many fans are going to be angry at the shootout rule if their team does not make it because of one..... But 9/10 of these people would be praising the rule if it were vice versa..... This shootout is not the reason the Leafs missed the playoffs....Where were they in the 3rd period of the Sabres game they led 4-1? Where were they in the game vs the Islanders just 3 days ago when the lost 5-2? The bottom line is...every team has the chance to get the job done during the season.....you can't blame a last game of the season shootout between two completely different teams.....

Nice twist on the style this year

While probably neither team can beat Buffalo, in my opinion the Leafs would have a much better chance than the Isles......

I bet you he won't

Best finish to season ever.

Thats what I'm hopin for, nothing would be more intense I was always hoping some team's playoff fate would be decided because of a shootout, just because of all those shootout haters saying that it would be a bad thing.....

There could not be a more fitting end to this game

They always play the Sabres tough, they'll be coming in with some momentum, lots of fans will be making the short trip to away games......they just beat Montreal showing a ton of heart....I easily give them seven games.....

Being superstitious is bad news.......it only means the superstition will actually work..... ....wait.... ........ .....thats a superstition in itself..... ......IT IS UNAVOIDABLE

Buffalo over the Leafs in 7, Isles in 4 New Jersey over Tampa in 5 Atlanta over the Rangers in 6 Ottawa over Penguins in 7 Have to say Wings over Flames....in 6 Minnesota over the Ducks in 7 Canucks over Dallas in 5 Sharks over Preds in 7

Well that game certainly lived up to the hype

Yep....there was a hint:........ And it was also in the Youtube description

Here it is everyone ladies and gentleman......

I made a sweet season highlight/pre-playoff video, I'll post the youtube link when it goes live.....

and Toronto pulls their goalie in a tie game to win in regulation....that would be nuts

And mine as well.... damn you '02 Hurricanes....

Bring on JJ

Nice, I was about to punch this in as 1-0.....now don't let the Ducks get a win in this one boys....

I would not want to play Minnesota, they have a hot goalie....and....Gaborik their record with him in the lineup is 32-9-6.....not that we couldn't take 'em .......just sayin.....

uhh....2003....

I'm hoping the game on Saturday night is tied towards the end of the game, it would be quite exciting. The Leafs will be pouring it on trying to win in regulation, and then if they don't, they will know they are already out of the playoffs, and will be demoralized going into OT....

Good point.... Nothing could be more appropriate....

Agreed on all counts...

Always trust the almighty TSN....

Just what I was thinking hoping....
