It was not a good Thanksgiving for Toronto sports teams and their fans. Notably, the Blue Jays are down 0-2 in the American League Championship Series to the Seattle Mariners after a 10-3 loss. Earlier in the day, the Maple Leafs hosted the Detroit Red Wings to accommodate the playoff baseball game. Despite outshooting Detroit 40-15, Toronto lost 3-2 on a goal from Mason Appleton with just 45 seconds left in regulation.
There is really no reason for Leafs fans to panic, as it's only the third game of the season. Head coach Craig Berube, however, took time during his post-game press conference to send a message to star William Nylander.
