Game #17 Review: Toronto Maple Leafs 2 vs. Vegas Golden Knights 1 (OT)

Your game in ten:

1. A general comment on the game and opponent: Watching this matchup was a breath of fresh air after Tuesday’s snoozer. It looked like a different sport altogether. A few years ago, I had mixed feelings about Vegas walking into the league and instantly becoming a top 2-3 team, but there is something so enjoyable about their product that I’ve had to park my cynicism. Their collective relentlessness, work rate, team speed, and physicality over four lines make for good viewing every time I catch a game of theirs. As we saw in the second period, where they speed-bagged the Leafs for almost 15 straight minutes (10-0 run in shots), they’re a well-oiled machine that can put its foot on the throat of the other team and refuse to them up for air.
