It's as if the Leafs just don't care how amazing a story this would be if Florida won.

They are not about to do the media any favours.

Hmmm if they're actively trying to win for that reason alone I'll give them a pass then.

Cmon CtB, the are winning for one another man, for one another.
 
How anyone comes away from the win last night thinking it occurred for any reason other than Luongo's injury is beyond me.  Montoya gave up 3 goals on 15 shots including one goal when he playing like a hobbled old man.
 
I was cheering for Florida last night and not for tank related reasons, what great moxy from the goalies, I was genuinely rooting for them to win, first time I can honestly say that. 

That Huberdeau-Barkov-Jagr line was fun to watch.

Yup, there weren't really any signs that the team turned a corner or anything. Tank nation can probably breath easy as long as every game from here on out doesn't include the Leafs playing against a goalie whose basically a shooter-tudor from here on out. The fact that they only scored one goal against Montoya in that condition is a little embarrassing.

at least they have won one on the road in 2015.

Plus...they weren't going to lose every game between the deadline and the end of the season.  Is every win going to be "lol pressures off now the wins come"?  Pretty sure they won a couple in a row only a week or so ago, then lost a few in a row.

Geez, lighten up! Just having some fun with it.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me to see the team start scoring more goals and winning enough games to lose a position or two in the draft ranking. I hope I'm wrong about that.
 
Seems like last night's game was a good one to watch on TV instead of being in the crowd given the Exciting Goalie Panic.

We knew there was something going on with the goalies (that Montoya was hurt) but the rest of the excitement (Tallon behind the bench, the goalie coach suiting up, Luongo in street clothes) was unknown until after the game. We also missed out on the hilarity on twitter and here. We were left to our own clever quips.

Sadly they never made an announcement asking if there was a goalie in the house.

We had a pretty good view of Bernier's game-saving saves in the third period. If we'd seen a little more of that earlier in the season, we might not be cheering on the tank right now.

Eeesh. Refs blew that. I thought it was weird that there seemed to be so much confusion about that around the Florida bench. And I remember afterward the ref was shown talked to HQ by the penalty box and then went to the Florida coach to talk to him and the coach was PO'ed. I'm guessing that's when the actual ruling was explained.
