Original Toronto Star caption: The eyes have it. The Leafs are the centre of attention as they battle Chicago Blackhawks for the only NHL playoff spot still up for grabs. Goalie Alian Bester, top left, will man the fort in the opener tonight against the Blues in St. Louis. And owner Harold Ballard, left, with general manager Gord Stellick, isn't letting the pressure get to him. Cool-as-a-cucumber coach George Armstrong, right, figures if his charges.
