That sucked to high heaven...
Toronto came out fast, hitting hard just as I hoped. That penalty from the hit by Brown was the games turning point, and to me, ruined the game. The hit was not bad, calling a 5min major was insane.
For the second straight time, Brown was lost for the balance of the game. Goal scored on the 5min PP was terrible luck, as would be the next Montreal goal too.
After the 5min Penalty, Toronto stopped the physical game and it allowed Prust to take charge, and Monteal to take control. Maybe Toronto was afraid to tap another guy in fear of another 5min PP.
The whole Leaf team was just flat, and had no legs after that major ended.
Montreal was not super, but solid all game. Just waited for chances to pounce, and kept all the pressure in Torontos end. Nothing to do but look ahead to the next one. Just don't like that Major call at all, and unsure why Toronto stopped playing hard/physical after the major ended.
