I want to reiterate a point I made after the last game. The only way the Leafs get back in this is with a few bounces and they got them tonight. We will see if they feel energized by their crowd on home ice or they crumble under the pressure.
I give them credit. They were desperate to win and it showed. However, I think you see a different game in Toronto on Friday. Nothing tonight showed me that the Leafs can win 3 more in a row.

That was some kind of bounce off the ref in the corner out to Nylander out front. Not put in cleanly either
Not easily replicable for sure
