The Toronto Maple Leafs have played two games so far.
In their season debut, the Toronto Maple Leafs only beat the Canadiens by a single goal, and even though Montreal outshot them by two, the Leafs were the best team by far. The Leafs controlled play for the entire night, and had more than double the high-danger scoring chances. The game wasn’t nearly as close as the score and shot count made it seem.
Against Ottawa on Wednesday, the Leafs had some troubles. Ottawa was the better team, and yet, because of the Leafs nearly bottomless offensive talent, they put 47 shots on net and were goalied by Anton Forsberg, who is normally terrible but of course had the best game of his life against the Leafs.
