Game #37 Review: Toronto Maple Leafs 4 vs. Detroit Red Wings 1

Your game in ten:

1. Anyone who thought this was, “no excuses for Michael Hutchinson tonight because it should be an easy win” were, to some degree, kidding themselves. I get the sentiment and why Hutchinson badly needed to win in these circumstances, but this is the Leafs in a back-to-back situation after all — and in the broader sense, it’s two NHL clubs, one of which played and traveled last night while the other has been resting since Wednesday. It wasn’t going to be a totally easy night, and the Leafs made that clear by giving up a clear-cut breakaway inside the first minute of the game, as well as three breakaways total in the first two periods.
