puck past him in the shootout, Buffalo Sabres goaltender Jhonas Enroth slashed
the Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman as he skated by. "My first reaction was that
he tried to embarrass me there a little bit, but when I look at it now, its good
(the) guys trying to be creative, I guess," he said. Enroth had plenty of time
to think because the shootout went an incredible 15 rounds, including 29
combined shooters who didnt score a goal. When it was over the Leafs had a 3-2
victory Saturday night thanks to Jay McClements winner, but the Sabres got their
kicks out of the pre-season marathon. "At one point I think both refs were just
going to call it a draw and kind of pick up the puck and go home and be
old-school NHL there for a second and call it a tie," Sabres forward Steve Ott
said. "But both performances by both goalies in the shootout was pretty
spectacular to watch. Ive never seen that before." Leafs goaltender James Reimer
stopped all 15 shots he saw after making 38 saves in regulation and overtime.
Reimer went 0 for 5 in shootouts last season with a .625 save percentage, and
wasnt making much of this. "Its good to get out there and for me to stop some
pucks and for guys to get some reps, but its exhibition and its a little
looser," Reimer said. "I think its a little different when its during a game and
two points are on the line." Ranger probably wouldnt have tried this in a real
game. He learned his "kick shot" from a friend at the age of 10 or 11 and
perfected it enough that it beat goalies in practice plenty. "Its gotten to the
point wwhere I can rip it pretty good, I feel like," he said.

is I have no idea where its going, and the goalie doesnt either because I sure
dont." Asked about Enroths slash and the idea that it was not the right thing to
do, Ranger said: "Not the right thing to do? Im trying to score. Quite honestly
its fun and, to be honest, Im not trying to show boat, and if he thought that,
then it is what it is. Whatever." Ott gave Ranger credit for the kick being a
"pretty heavy shot." But it was a deke by McClement that finally ended things.
"A lot of light-heartenedness taking place on the bench," Leafs coach Randy
Carlyle said. "A lot of guys betting on Jay, so we waited right till the end."
Before the shootout, the game had the chippiness normally reserved for the
regular season. It featured three fights, including Troy Bodie taking on
Patrick Kaleta after the Sabres agitator went after captain Dion Phaneuf. From
the Leafs perspective, Ott started the trouble before that dust-up. "I think Ott
intentionally shot the puck at Dion," Carlyle said. "Thats what it appeared from
where we were. Those are the kind of things that in exhibition are kind of
questionable at this point." The Leafs and Sabres played on the edge all night.
Carlyle said it the 15-round was something he had never seen before, but even
for those with similar experiences this was something unique. "We had one in
Rochester, I think we went through everybody except for maybe Joe Finley. I
think we had a call-up score," Rolston said. "(This one) was bizarre, especially
with no goals."
