Toronto Maple Leafs: Four wins, and one historic scoring feat

Good grief!

While riding my exercise last night I tuned in to the Leafs game vs New York on TV.

Two Original Six teams, what’s not to like, I stayed for the whole game.

Good grief! The Leafs won - their fourth in a row. Sure, not enough wins to secure a spot in the playoffs, but - four in a row.

Plus, Clarke MacArthur of the Leafs (wearing number 16, Bobby Hull’s first NHL number) scored early in the second period, making him the first player in the history of The Toronto Maple Leafs to score in each of the first four games of the season.

We have a Leaf player making history!! And it’s not for flubbing so many passes in a row, or falling over the boards and landing in the 12th row, or something like that.

Go for five, boys. Go for five.

(Schenn, warm up your hands before the game. They were like cement in the first period, man).

Raise your hand if you’re a Leafs fan.
