The whole team played poorly at the start of the game and found themselves down 2-0. Most players had some bad positioning issues.
The Leafs came out during the second period looking like a different team. During the first goal, Pitts goalie comes out to challenge Bozak, but Bozak passes the puck to Stahlberg who has a completely open net.
The Leafs from this point on seemed to dominate, but they just couldn't score. Nearing the end of the game they hit quite a few off the post, and finally Kadri roofs one with just over a minute left off a Beauchemin rebound.
Nothing happens in overtime, so the game goes to shootouts. Kadri starts off by scoring an incredible goal. He deeked the Pitts goalie out of his clothes. Toskala foiled Staal's attempt at a deek. Bozak missed his attempt. I can't remember the next Pitts player, but he scored. Finally Stempniak scores to finish off the game.
P.S. Rosehill flattened two players in the same play. Komisarek tried to fight Staal, but Staal was on the ground. Instead of cheaply punching him on the ground, Komisarek helped him up and then pummeled him. Good times.

we started very sloppy
toskala was all over the place, down way way to early on the first goal (bayda), grabo & kaberle both left him to tripple cover the other side.
stalberg wheels
they got a breakaway when komi pinched, weak effort from tosk IMO... AHL move...
bozak showed his excellent 2 way play
rosehill crushed staal, and fedentako in the same shift.
komi crushed cook then pumbled staal (love the guy)
we started to build momentum
komi pinches, forces a nice turnover, bozak with a nice move, stalberg with empty net goal.
our play really picks up, tide turns, we get really nice pressure, consistently. Schenn looked okay, kinda quiet, but at one point stepped into a nice slap shot, something i've not seen from him since juniors
beau leveled one of their young players, then fought their tough guy (willingly)... in short, beau is a beauty.
next we start hitting a stupid # of posts, looking like a loss, when we deserved to tie it. hanson, kadri, beau, all got at least one post.
then beau let a rocket fly, bounced around (off of mckee's face at one point), over to kadri, who despite the bouncing puck shelves it with authority.
they were lucky to escape OT, stalberg and hanson both with great chances. (another post, and a nice save).
kadri with an incredibly sick backhand deke on the first shot.
save on staal
save (bozak lost handle, nicked goalies stick, close though)
goal don't remember by who (pens)
goal stemps five-hole, barely trickled in.

what did you draw around kadri in ur pic? is that a chicken costume?
honestly dude, your selling him short.
he was a force in NCAA hockey, has elite hockey sense, and a nack for putting the puck in the back of the net.
our top 6 is shaping up rather nice:
?-kadri-kessel
hanson-bozak-stalberg
they all bring very good skill to the table.
Yes many have, perhaps because of the two higher profile collegians. He has had a strong pre-season and looked like he belonged in his last three games last season.
In a typical pre-season, when the Leafs might only have one young forward to get excited about, we would be talking about him maybe making the club. I think people were expecting a bit more of a power forward rather than an offensive guy. Must be the Slapshot connection

You'll be glad to see that your boys in blue tied the game in the last minute. Kadri scored to the game tying goal with 1 minute left and scored the winner in the shootout with a beaut!
