Were it not for the contortions of Toronto goalie Anthony Stolarz, the game would’ve ended in a football score rather than 3-0
Toronto Maple Leafs center Connor Dewar battles for the puck with Ottawa Senators defenseman Nick Jensen in front of goaltender Linus Ullmark during the first period at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Nov. 12.It’s been a donkey’s age since the Battle of Ontario moved anyone in any part of this province. But going into Tuesday night in Toronto, there was some hope.
For months, people waited on the revenge tour. The Leafs players were peppered with prompts to help sell tickets. For instance, someone asked Leafs defenceman Jake McCabe if Rielly’s act of violence could help juice the rivalry. The Leafs only had any looks because Ottawa’s Nick Cousins was penalized twice for tripping Conor Timmins. Two tripping penalties is one too many. Two on Timmins should be professionally disqualifying.
There were only two positives for Toronto. Auston Matthews is still missing with an undisclosed upper-body injury, so he is unsullied by Tuesday’s performance. And were it not for the contortions of Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz, the game would’ve ended in a football score rather than 3-0. The remainder of November could become a bit of a ring of fire for the Leafs. There are no gimmes coming up, including Washington in D.C., Edmonton and Vegas at home, and then a quick rip through Florida against the Panthers and Lightning. Things that looked okay while Toronto played .500 hockey could look otherwise soon.
