More Game 7s Guaranteed as Leafs and Rangers Tie Series

The swings and roundabouts of the playoff lottery were on display for all to see last night as we march onto to more game 7 action! Derek Brassard's second period goal for the New York Rangers earned them a 1-0 win against Washington Capitals and sets up an interesting final tie at the Verizon Center! So far this series has been a back and forth affair and I think any betting man would have a hard time putting a wager on this one!

The Toronto Maple Leafs have also leveled their series against Boston and have impressively fought from 3-1 down to bringing things to a 3-3 tie! Their 2-1 win against the Bruins at the Air Canada Center was inspired by a first star performance from James Reimer- with Optimus Reim making an impressive 29 saves to keep the Bruins offense at bay! Leafs fans had to wait until the third period for the goals to come with Captain Dion Phaneuf scoring after just two minutes and after nine minutes of play, once again former Bruin Phil Kessell put the Leafs further ahead!

Tyler Seguin gave Boston hope with 26 seconds left on the clock, but it was not to be and Toronto held on to set up a thrilling final game which will give them the home ice advantage!Maple Leaf fans have waited 9 years for a playoff return and this year they are grabbing it with both hands!

No one can say the playoffs have been predictable this year!
