The Toronto Maple Leafs opened the 2023-24 NHL season by pulling off a great multi-goal comeback in what has to be the most entertaining game ever played in October.
The Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Montreal Canadiens 6-5 in a game that has about 56 separate and equally interesting story lines.
Where to start?
Auston Matthew’s 300th goal? His first hattrick since 2022?
The first goal by Noah Gregor (who had an excellent debut)? Or what about the first fight by Ryan Reaves (which was actually kind of a dud since he got pushed over the back of the net and lost his balance and subsequently the fight).
