Toronto and Montreal are facing each other in the postseason for the first time in 42 years and, not even one period in, there’s already been a potential series-changing event. Leafs captain John Tavares was stretchered off the ice after being knocked out cold during a collision with Canadiens forward Corey Perry in Game1.
After receiving a pass and getting dropped to the ice awkwardly in a collision around his own blue line, Tavares took a (likely accidental) knee to the head as Perry was flying by.

Scary.
