Two goals, including the winner in overtime against the Carolina Hurricanes. Not bad for a former Buffalo Sabres outcast whom was subject to ridicule in his multiple seasons with their organization. Injuries, inconsistency, and turnovers were the reasons the Sabres opted to not resign him for this upcoming season. They say another man's garbage is another's treasure. This is the case for the Leafs as "Tiny" Tim has hovered around a point per game this season and has come up clutch. With the win, the Maple Leafs secure their 6th seed in the Eastern Conference and further show fans why they are a playoff team, because they beat teams they're supposed to beat. Games against the Hurricanes, and Jackets, etc are now games the Leafs know they have to come up with two points. Go Leafs!
