Full disclosure: I had an entire FTB written at the end of the second period, when the Leafs were up 3-1 and completely dominating the Rangers. Two Brian Boyle goals later, I knew I had to redo it. Luckily, Phil Kessel is freaking awesome, scoring his second goal of the game (in overtime, no less) to keep the Leafs undefeated on the season. It almost seems surreal after the terrible start to last season. It's good to be a Leaf fan right now.
