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

Leafs look are on paper the weakest of the biggest teams but also on paper they are the toughest

Gary Roberts

Nick Antropov

Owan Nolan

Darcie Tucker

Ackie Berg

Tie Domi

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

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.

    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
    • New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
