Buffalo Boy's Blog

               AT   

I just turned the game on and Patrick Kaleta may have made the most energizing play for his hometown team all season. He decked Carlo Colaiacovo in the corner leading to the third goal of the game. These really are my two favorite teams to watch play eachother and to watch play period. Buffalo as my favorite team growing up and the Leafs just because I gained an appreciation for them growing up so close to such a great city.

This is a must win game for both teams. If Buffalo loses they fall right back to four points back of the Flyers. If the Leafs lose, all the work they have done to catch Buffalo and get into the 9 seed goes for naught. It also gives Buffalo a huge advantage going into the last two games these teams play against each other.

Its getting to crunch time and losing ground can be huge. There are still two periods left but I like Buffalo's chances up 3-1. Consolation after one period for Leaf fans, Buffalo is known lately for giving up these two goal leads so stay tuned.
