Maybe it was the 1 p.m. start, but this game was as chaotic as we’ll find this season. The Leafs haven’t made it easy in any of the games since the break, but they keep finding ways to win during this five-game streak.
Your Game in 10:
1. After a “lacklustre” performance in NYC, Craig Berube’s message to the team before this rare matinee matchup was: “This game is all about shot attempts… Let’s shoot pucks. It’s not a bad play to shoot a puck today.”
The Leafs took the gameplan to heart, firing more shots on goal in the first seven or eight minutes of this game than their total unblocked shot attempts (12) in the first 40 minutes at MSG.
