When Joe Nieuwendyk scored at 19:43 of the third to force overtime, Leaf commentator Joe Bowen and I screamed "Holy Mackinaw" in unison. The never-say-die Leafs had overcome a 4 minute penalty to tie the score at 2. Unfortunately this penalty carried over into the overtime period and the Blues scored quickly during the 4 on 3 action.
All good things come to an end I suppose. It was a wonderful streak while it lasted. St. Louis is a very good team and we did earn a point stretching our lead to four points over Boston for the Northeast Division lead. A new streak begins Thursday in Minnesota.
