Reimer stole the two points for the Leafs tonight, for sure...

I am mildly irritated, however, about Toronto's GWG...Rule 43.1 says absolutely NOTHING about the position of the player being checked in relation to the boards...according to the HNIC analyst's opinion (I'm not sure who was calling the game, I was watching the NHL network feed, and it was the HNIC guys), "if Oduya was closer to the boards, that would have been a penalty..." If I am interpreting 43.1 correctly, it should have been a penalty anyway...

Not to say that the 'Hawks would have pulled it out, Reimer deserves full credit for the win, with 46 or 47 saves, and the Toronto D did just enough to box out on 2nd opportunities....The 'Hawks continue a pattern of wasting scoring chances.

It was a wildly entertaining, uptempo effort for both teams...
