3. Jason Spezza Takes Us Back to ’07

We all love Jason Spezza. He brings heart to the team and puts in 110% every night. Why shouldn’t we love the guy? He strictly had said earlier this season that if any other team had picked him up on waivers that he would retire. The guy wants to win as a Leaf and nothing else!

That’s why no one (except maybe Canucks Fans) was mad when Spezza scored a Hattrick a couple of weeks ago.  He scored the first one off of the powerplay with a retro slap slot to beat Thatcher Demko.  The second one would come from a Nic Petan driving up the wing sending a perfect saucer pass to Spezza for him to rifle home.

The third was the best of all. Straight of the ’07 season, Spezza dashed past Alex Edler before making a quick move to the forehand to just slide the puck in and around Demko.

There were no hats on the ice at the Scotiabank Arena that night but you could still feel the excitement through your TV, and with all the goals this season, it’s hard to believe that that is the lone hattrick for the Leafs this season.
