The Toronto Maple Leafs just could not start the year with two losses to the Ottawa Senators.
It doesn’t matter how bad the refs were in the first game (they were incompetent) or how great Anton Forsberg was (he almost earned the Hart and Vezina trophies in a single game) – the Toronto Maple Leafs are not allowed to lose to the Senators.
And so last night was a test for the team, and I’m glad to say they passed with flying colours.
The Leafs entered the game with a 1-1 record, and honestly, it could have easily been 0-2 (if Campbell didn’t hold the Leafs in through the first ten minutes of the MTL game) or 2-0 (If Anton Forsberg didn’t goalie them).
