And the Leafs take the win!

Tonight the Winnipeg Jets (1-4) came to the Air Canada Centre to face the Toronto Maple Leafs (4-1). With Winnipeg scoring the first goal set the tone for the game to begin with. The Leafs replied though with a goal tying it at one all at the end of the first period.
As the second period finished up the Jets were ahead three to one. At this point I was getting pretty discouraged. As much as I hate the Leafs, I still have to cheer for them. Trust me when I say this; it is a curse in my family. As far back as I can remember, my great grandpa to my cousins to my dad to me. You aren't part of the Gillingham family unless you are a Leafs fan. So when they were losing today it was hard to watch. They seem to always just set us fans up for discouragement. I understand the whole never give up Justin Bieber pep talk, but I did not think any sort of comeback was in the making. But...
After the third and final period, here we go... The Leafs have the game tied up three all. The game goes into overtime. During the overtime there were no goals scored... That means a shoot out. I HATE shootouts. It is the absolutely worst way to win a game. It shows no indication of who played better and who deserved to win. Whatever though, what has to be done will be, and the team that came on top tonight ladies and gentlemen; the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Tonight was a good night. The Leafs win and the Jets get a point, which they do need. Hopefully the Leafs continue there streak tomorrow as the face Boston and here's hoping the Jets can pull of a win as well tomorrow! But for right now, goodnight!
