Man I am sick of the other Canadian teams. The Toronto Maple Leafs played the Ottawa Senators what feels like dozens of times last season while stuck in the North Division, and for some reason the NHL decided we hadn’t had enough of the Canadian teams and had the Leafs open the season with a back to back against the Canadiens and Senators.
Thanks guys.
Anyway, after beating the reigning Stanley Cup Final losers, the Maple Leafs headed east, and then a bit north to Ottawa, their home away from home. Petr Mrazek got his first Maple Leafs start, and we got to see former Maple Leaf and perennial #5 in the Top 25, Connor Brown.
