Original Toronto Star caption: But can the Leafs keep on coming up roses? Ed Olczyk, the Leaf who scored the overtime game-winner Tuesday, had expressed the hope that the fans would now throw roses rather than the debris they hurled to the ice during Sunday's 8-0 thrashing. One fan took the message to heart and sent a box of red and yellow roses to the centreman, shown at his home with his 6-month-old pug Titan. Aren't they beautiful? he said. Leafs have another chance to come up roses tonight.
