Coming off their victory against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost 3-2 last night in a thriller against the Montreal Canadiens, even though the Leafs beat Montreal in every way possible except on the score sheet.
Whether by the eye test, or by the stat sheet, the Toronto Maple Leafs deserved to win last night, and it is absolutely crazy they did not. (NaturalStatTrick)
This game proves, beyond any shadow of doubt, the random nature of overtime and that goaltending can steal a team a win even though they clearly did not deserve it, as the Leafs were unable to overcome stellar goaltending from Sam Montembeault, who made 36 saves while facing a whopping 38 shots.
