A mere two days after trouncing of the Senators in game 7, finally ending that brutal series, the banged up Leafs made their Conference Final debut in Raleigh, sneaking in a much needed victory to start the series.
The Leafs' injured list is brutal:
Garry Valk - hamstring
Tie Domi - leg
Darcy Tucker - shoulder
Ton Barrasso - hand
Mikel Renberg - pelvis
Karel Pilar - hand
Jyrki Lumme - chest
Oh, and Mats. :(
The team has now clarified he has a hairline wrist fracture, and is done for the playoffs.
