The Toronto Maple Leafs kicked off the 2022-23 season in the most disappointing and crappy way possible – with a listless loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
The Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t play poorly and they could easily have won this game, but they should destroy a team like Montreal, and they didn’t.
One one hand, it’s the first game, it’s on the road, and the result could very easily have been different.
But on the other hand, this is a contending team, and you’d just like to see them take care of business a little more efficiently.
