ECQF Game #2 Review: Toronto Maple Leafs 4 vs. Washington Capitals 3

Your game in ten:

1. Tonight’s effort from Frederik Andersen reminded me of when Curtis Joseph stopped 52 of 54 in the triple-OT win over Ottawa in Game 2 of the 2002 Battle of Ontario with the Leafs trailing 1-0 in the series. It was an incredible first-star performance. Andersen was the Leafs’ MVP in the regular season, but showing the ability to steal a playoff win on the road in a tough building against the President’s Trophy winners is a statement game and a half.

The last time a Leafs goalie made that many saves in a playoff game: Ed Belfour’s 72-save performance against the Flyers in 2003 (an OT loss in Game 4).
