Recap: Leafs beat the Wild in a fast-paced afternoon game

So I turn on TSN.ca and they’re advertising USA vs England, not this hockey game. Even the people who paid to put it on the air aren’t interested in Friday afternoon hockey.

First Period

Lovely tribute to Börje Salming from the Wild rink announcer. Thank you, Minnesota.

The game starts with a lot of quick action, but not serious scoring chances. The pace is enough to inspire the fans to boo Mac Hollowell when he hangs out behind the net forever while the Leafs do the world’s slowest line change.

The Matthews line gets Marc-Andre Fleury to scramble a little.
