The Leafs played last night?
The Canadiens tried to?
Well now, I guess I have a game recap for you then! How fun.
The leafs wound up at the bell centre in montreal last night, playing montreal for the second time this season, looking to build on the momentum they'd gained over the course of the week.
With back to back monday/tuesday night games against southeast opponents, things looked grim - they started that way too. after going getting the lead early in the game, the team dropped four straight goals to the Staal brothers Hurricanes, ultimately losing 4-1.

The next night, the team put a decidedly better performance in front of netminder Ben Scrivens, who picked up the win over the Capitals as James van Riemsdyk had a big night, potting a pair added to by Korbinian Holzer, who picked up his first NHL goal.
Two nights later, the Leafs flew into Winterpeg, and beat the Jets 3-2 with Phil Kessel providing the game winner late in the game, registering his first goal of the season.
Would the Leafs be able to carry this momentum into Montreal on this Saturday night?
Would the Canadiens show up?
Would Don Cherry embarrass himself?
For answers to these questions, and many more - go over that there jump/cut thingy.
