It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows in Leaf Land during tonight's game against the Washington Capitals. The Leafs fell to a 3-1 deficit early in the 3rd period and despite not having Michael Bunting due to injury and Tavares out of the lineup for load management. The Leafs didn't play a full 60 but they were able to show up when it mattered. Luckily for them, they were able to get their hands dirty and be on the good side of a 3-1 comeback due to late goals from Ilya Mikheyev and Jason Spezza followed by the shootout winner by Alex Kerfoot.
In years past, this is a game that the Leafs definitely lose. Not this year, not tonight. They battled and they found a way to win against a team that they could see in the playoffs depending on how far each team goes.
