The Toronto Maple Leafs won their third game in a row last night, easily handling the Washington Capitals, who they hadn’t played in about three years, for some reason, I forget why (!).
Though the advent of social media has allowed people to complain about seemingly everything that isn’t completely perfect, this was a great game, one where the Toronto Maple Leafs looked vastly superior to a supposed contender.
Sure, shots were the same, but one of these teams was shooting from the outside, while the other was driving the net and creating chances.
The Leafs had 26 chances, to Washington’s 14, with nine of those coming in the third period when Washington started taking risks to try and score.
