The "score for four" started back at home last Thursday (January 6) against the St. Louis Blues in a shootout win 6-5. The Leafs actually had a healthy lead in that game until St. Louis stormed back to tie it during the 3rd period. But a win is a win.
On Friday (January 7), at the start of the current Leafs road trip, they thrashed the Atlanta Thrashers 9-3; again, there was some worry about another shootout game as the Leafs lead 9-1 early in the 3rd period in this one and Atlanta scored 2 unanswered goals. However, that lead was safe!
Last night, the Leafs started the West Coast portion of their road trip in Los Angeles, beating up on the Kings with a 3-2 victory.
Tonight, it should continue to be challenging for the Leafs to get 2 points in this game against the Sharks, one of the NHL's premier teams (DJ MSox's favourite). Joe Thornton, Dany Heatley, Patrick Marleau and the entire Sharks team will definitely do their best to spoil the Leaf's win streak.
If they win #4...who will be the first media outlet in Toronto to suggest this again:
UPDATE-JANUARY 12: Leafs did win it over the Sharks by the score of 4-2!
