After taking their eye off of the ball, committing just enough errors to ruin their recent road efforts, time for a home run for the Maple Leafs.
Most pundits figure the Leafs have already blown their chance to rein in division-leading Boston, having lost there in regulation nine days ago with a late breakdown, after the Wings topped them 4-1 at Little Caesar’s and before the easiest road point slipped through their hockey gloves, Saturday’s 3-2 overtime loss to the not-so-deceased Montreal Canadiens.Article content“We want to make sure we’re ready to go, string together a couple of wins, being at home for the week,” said Auston Matthews.
Though he could count a lot of blue-and-white sweaters in the Bell Centre, Keefe said the emotion generated by a Canadiens’ goal after Toronto missed going up three on the power play, restored life in the farmhands, rookies and remaining healthy veterans on the Habs. While Toronto’s record after 47 games is still commendable, just 11 regulation losses, it has left points on the table versus Montreal, which beat them in the season opener, dropped two decisions to Arizona and lost to a few others not on the playoff grid.
Conversely, Morgan Rielly reminded on Saturday morning that the Leafs have earned some difficult regulation points against Stanley Cup contenders while going through a rough patch with injuries. Almost every defenceman has been banged up in the first half of the season.
