Oh, and some of the comments on the Globe and Mail site are priceless. Here's a few good ones:
Ultimately, hockey is just a form of entertainment... and with that perspective in mind, Bryan McCabe is the best player EVER.... I thought tripping over the net was a brilliant main performance - but tonight, what an encore! Bravo!
Ironic how McCabe scores the OT winner and Buffalo gets the two points. Nice job $5M Man! He missed the net earlier in the game but didn't when it counted, 3 seconds left!!! That guy shouldn't even be in the NHL. Send him to the Marlies until he asks to be traded. Maybe the Leafs can get a stick rack and a couple of water bottles for him.
Can anyone say C-H-O-K-E! What an embarassment. Looks like Ottawa won't have to almost single-handedly squash the Leaf's hopes for a post-season birth for the third year in a row. The leafs have become the whipping boys of the NHL. Apparently, the Panthers aren't even going to show up for their match against them on Thursday until the third period, just to be good sports.
With mere seconds left on the clock, a lot of players would have panicked with an open net staring at them. But, McCabe didn't. With Raycroft out of position, McCabe calmly fired the puck past the sprawling goaltender. A great goal that will live forever on YouTube.
