The puck bounded off Reimer’s pads to a waiting Tyler Kennedy at the edge of the crease. Kennedy patiently controlled the puck before lifting it over the prone Reimer at the 8:55 mark.Patrick Marleau scored the game-winning goal at 9:06. The 35-year old winger rushed the puck into the Toronto zone before snapping a low shot between Reimer’s pads.

"I have had this sign on my front door for a few years now. I'm amazed at the audacity of people that still knock or ring the bell. I don't know if it's the LDS or the Jehovah's that come around the most.  What makes them or anyone else think that you're going to open the door for strangers in this day and age. Is there something we can do to stop them"
