The final score was 3-1 Edmonton, but even that overstates the amount of offense we got to see. Neither team was able to create much of anything off the rush, resulting in a pretty boring game for a neutral third party.
Luckily, this isn’t an article for neutral fans. So let’s put our Leafs blinders on together and try to take some meaning out of this game by diving into the individual player grades.
