The Toronto Maple Leafs kicked off the 2021-22 NHL season in style last night, defeating the Montreal Canadiens by a score of 4-1.
Unfortunately, it was a pre-season game and the victory was hollow in comparison to what happened last spring when the Montreal Canadiens pulled out one of the least deserved, luckiest wins in NHL playoff history, and defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs in seven games.
The Habs went on an improbable run, but the Leafs are still the superior team in every way.
The Leafs enter the new season as a Cup Favorite, while the Habs will be lucky to make the playoffs.
