St. Louis is a good team. A matchup between them would be interesting. Unfortunately, I don't believe Osgood is the answer to St. Louis' goalie issues. Also, St. Louis took a big hit when they lost MacInnis. To answer your question I'm not sure who would win but if the Leafs keep up at this rate I think they could win. The major unknown in this matchup would be the Leafs defence.

hahaha, Hasek is such a chump...what a prick, doesn't even wear his equipment on the bench...that guy should not have ever come back, let alone play in the NHL in the first place...his style is old, and he has become easily solved. Wouldn't have mattered WHO was in net last night...their D didn't come to play. and with that I say:

8 IN A ROW BABY!!!!!

St. Louis will be a toughie...but I am hoping for it...:D

all the above players are the biggest and toughest players/fighters in the NHL, the most in any team

Gary Roberts - Tough

Nik Antropov - Perennially injured and not physical

Owen Nolan - Tough (Hot streak!)

Darcy Tucker - Motormouth but not physically intimidating (Hot streak!)

Aki Berg - Not physical at all but solid defensively (this year)

Tie Domi - Super tough role player (for someone 5'10")

Bryan McCabe - Tough and on pace for a career year (Hot streak!)

Ken Klee - On pace to double his previous best career year (Hot streak!)

Bryan Marchment - Tough but a lowsy +/-

Plus the Leafs have some other non-physical stars like Captain Mats Sundin, Joe Nieuwendyk, Tomas Kaberle and Alexander Mogilny (injured).

Someone else mentioned that the Leafs have a weak defence and while that was brandied about at the start of the year, a few things have happened since.

1) Bryan McCabe has returned to his form from two ago as opposed to last year's setback.

2) Ken Klee is have a rediculously good year. He plays the powerplay point with McCabe.

3) Aki Berg is having a solid year. He was selected 1st round, 3rd overall in 1995 and he's finally coming into it.

4) Tomas Kaberle is not having the greatest year for someone who's supposed to be our best D. But he is +5.

5) Karel Pilar (pronounced as Peelash) is back from his heart condition or whatever.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
