McElhinney robs Crosby, send Leafs into playoffs.

What an intense finish!

Tonight was a very emotional game for the Maple Leafs. They had to win in order to get into the Playoffs by their own accord. They faced the Penguins, which is obviously no picnic. 

Anyhow, late in the third, the Penguins were down one goal and they had to score to get into overtime. Phil Kessel sent a laser pass to Sidney Crosby across the whole Leafs' zone and it should have been an easy goal for the Kid. However, Curtis McElhinney stood firm and denied him. 


What a save! Just to look at the crowd reaction gives a smile on your face. Everyone in Toronto was cheering and it was mad! At the end, Auston Matthews (who else?) scored his 40th in an open net to seal the deal and win the game 5-3. 

The Leafs join the Playoffs officially with this win. Well done guys!
