In the same week Ontario couldn’t decide how to handle their COVID regulations, the Vancouver Canucks were coming off of a three-week stint without playing any NHL games due to a team-wide outbreak. We truly do live in a bizarre world right now.
Despite facing an uphill battle, the Canucks were able to defeat the Leafs in overtime by a final score of 3-2. Much like the David Ayres game, this would be a much more fun article to write about the winning team, but alas, this has been a post-game Leafs column for as long as I’ve been writing it.
