If you thought your night was going poorly, imagine being one of the thousands of Leafs fans who paid hundreds if not thousands of dollars to be at this game, were forced to sit through the first 40 minutes, and then left with the Leafs down 5-0?
But narratives can be a funny thing. It's possible the schedule had its role to play in the sloppiness of the first 40 minutes, but if it were true that the team was spent energy-wise mentally and physically, wouldn't the Leafs theoretically have had little left in the tank in the third period - which is when their best players played about half the period and scored five times?
