The Toronto Maple Leafs kicked off their regular season opener with a thrilling 5-4 OT win over the Montreal Canadiens.

What an exciting first game of the season this was for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Any time you can beat the Montreal Canadiens at home is a special night, but coming from behind to ultimately win in overtime was awesome.

Obviously I hope the team doesn’t have fans in attendance until it’s safe to do so, but man, would this have been a fun one to attend in person.
