When the Maple Leafs lost their final regular season game and were matched up with the President's Trophy winning Capitals, not a lot of people gave Toronto much a chance to win the series. But after three games...the Maple Leafs lead the Capitals 2-1 in the series after earning a second-straight win in overtime.
For the third game in a row, the Leafs and the Capitals went to overtime, leading to yet another thrilling finish. In the Leafs first home playoff game since 2013, Toronto came out on top, once again led by their youth core, with both Auston Matthews and William Nylander scoring their first career playoff goals. Suffice it to say, the hockey world absolutely erupted online after the Leafs victory in OT, with fans finding it hard to believe Toronto has taken the lead in the series, and other crowing Dart Guy as the new king of Leafs Nation.
In case you were wondering what the reaction was like in Maple Leaf Square was when Bozak scored the OT winner...it was LOUD.
The Leafs have the chance to take a commanding series lead in Game 4, with the two squads back in action at the ACC on Wednesday night.
