Lets be honest, the game went as expected reffing and play wise. Refs were always going to make bad calls and miss calls both ways. Play was always going to be choppy and sloppy without a preseason game. The game was close and the teams were really evenly matched. The difference in this game came down to the same thing 21 other games last year came down to. CJ is unwilling to go for the win. Byron, Chiarot and Danault were all on the ice for the Toronto break out. Danault for some inexplicable reason chases the puck around the back of the Toronto net effectively taking himself out of the play. Then Byron, one of the fastest skaters in the league goes and changes leaving Gallagher to try to get back in the play and finally Chiarot takes the shot away instead of the pass. Does Chiarot not realize that the goalies job is to stop the puck his job is to take away the backdoor pass. Thus Toronto scores and wins the game. It was mental breakdowns from 3 exhausted all on the same play and bad coaching that resulted in the Leafs winning not bad calls or missed calls.
