Holy, the President’s Trophy-winning Jets score two goals in final 2 minutes, including one with 1.6 seconds to go, to force Game 7 to overtime. Look who scored the 3-2 goal.
5 of the 9 Tigers in the lineup right now have an OPS of .800 or higher
- Tork .873
- McKinstry .853
- Carpenter .830
- Dingler .808
- Baez (!!) - .803
Greene is right there at .795
Leafs hadn’t scored on their last 30 powerplays in elimination streaks. But broke the streak just now when the Sens were a minute away from getting to the 1st intermission tied, which would have caused more doubts to creep into the Leafs.
Probably also the first time they reached 3 losses before April 1. I bet many years they only played between 20-25 games before May 1. First comment under post is how the ‘84 Tigers were 18-2. Still, very happy to be 19-12!
This is wild. If you had told me this morning that there is a league MVP from the 1960s whose name I had never heard of, I'd have bet you $100 that's not the case. Yet I can say with certainty I have absolutely no recollection of ever before reading or hearing the name Zoilo Versalles. I would have been as likely to believe that Zoilo Versalles is the name of a Peruvian mountain peak or the tenor of a European opera house. Not even his nickname Zorro rings a bell. Where have I been all these years?
