Fun night . . . my takeaway was, the physical - yes, PHYSICAL!!! - pushback by the Leafs on a very physical Caps team, started even before the Wilson tilt. Really nice effort, and we showed we can just push back hard PHYSICALLY as well as burn them on talent as well.
This to me is a statement game, as much as it may be lost in the records at the end of the season without Marner, Matthews leading the charge . . . this was a, "put on your big boy pants" game by the Leafs, and they stepped up to the challenge and knocked out the Caps with a flurry of punches.
I have hope for the playoffs.
+ Soupy was very solid.
