No excuses, no weak opponent, and no Leafs controversies (made up or otherwise). Of course, it wouldn’t be a Leafs game without *something* to wring our hands about, and the Ilya Samsonov injury genuinely puts a damper on things. He was off to a great start and was taking over the net. Let’s hope the injury isn’t too serious.
Even still, the Leafs bolted the game down and ground out a 2-1 win against a very good Bruins team. Full marks for that.
Your game in 10:
1. It was a fairly even start to the game between two good teams.
