I think this was the most complete game that the Leafs played this season. I
knew they were going to win. i just knew it.
People are going to complain about the first period - but I truthfully think it wasn't that bad. Yes: we had two shots, 17 minutes apart. whatever - the Ducks had FIVE SHOTS with 1 scoring chance (the one they scored on). we weren't sloppy or unmotivated, I think we were just getting our paces.
the second period (even with that goal we gave up) was a very neatly played one - and then: the hits. the speed. the attack into the opposition end. it was finally good to see that aspect of the game come back - and it just started the attack.
the third period was more of the same.
Congrats to Kessel on his natural hattrick. Bernier really closed the door down, which was good.
so proud of my boys
