The Leafs, they came, they saw, they kicked ass on Sunday.
Ottawa may have dominated shots on net early on. They were never in the game.
Toronto controlled the game from start to finish. A team on a mission. The Leafs were all business. Senators looked like a team just happy to be there. Stolarz was as advertised, he was solid, the Leafs offence was what it should be. Dominant.
Leafs were a veteran playoff team that knew it was just not acceptable to be invited to the playoff dance, they need 16 wins. One down.
Toronto had all aspects of their game firing, that started with OEL opening the scoring. Leafs never panicked, they played like an experienced squad that won the division. Tuesday's game is massive, keep the momentum going. Head to Ottawa up 2-0, and you have the second best road record in the NHL.
The Leafs big guns all had multi point games. Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Tavares.
Everyone showed up on Easter Sunday.
Toronto hasn't had a 2-0 series lead since 2002 vs the Islanders.
Back tomorrow to get everyone set up for game two.
