Stress-free wins (or at least relatively stress-free) have been a rare treat for the Leafs this season. It seems like every game this season has either been a carnival or a disappointment. It’s been few and far between when it comes to genuinely solid performances in which the win felt secure well in advance of the final buzzer.
It sure didn’t seem as though that would be the case after the first period on Saturday. Alas, the Leafs managed to turn it around and manufacture an all-around solid game from top to bottom throughout the lineup.
