Although the Maple Leafs won Game 1, the way the Thrashers played told everyone several things: 1) That they are a lot more focused this year than they were previously, 2) That they are playing with much more intensity, 3) That, as we saw in that wild final minute, they won't give up so easily, and 4) That they are not going to just bend over and yield so easily. That said, though, despite playing very well in Game 1, they no longer have home-ice advantage, which means that they must get at least one win on the road in order to advance. But that bridge will be faced another time. Now, the Thrashers try once again to get the franchise's first ever victory in a playoff game at home and even the series at 1 apiece. Can they do it? Or will the Leafs put them in yet another 2-0 hole before going on the road? Game 2 is next!
