    Another classic rivalry game of Leafs vs. themselves. This time, Leafs win!

  3. Throwaway5497346

    #AUSTON MATTHEWS IS A TORONTO MAPLE LEAF!

  6. cappo40

    Leafs won a shootout. Bringing our record since 2006 to like 10 wins and 1000 losses.

    No meme losses when Auston scores 3+ in a season opener is cool

  7. SpicyP43905

    I cannot believe we actually won that game. I’m used to the Habs getting crazy miracle wins against us, nice to be on the other side of it for once 🙂

  8. BeenWaitingForThis88

    Might have been one of the opening night games ive seen. Let’s go, hockey’s back baby! BTW I think the new goal song slaps, brings some new energy. Just wait till that songs blasts during the playoffs

  9. Shabloinks

    IF YOU DON’T LIKE THAT, YOU DON’T LIKE LEAFS HOCKEY! (and heart attacks)

  10. ArryPotta

    How was that last shootout move not illegal? He flat out went backwards …

  11. JonJonFTW

    There was a lot to be worried about in this game.

    But we got a Leafs win and a Matty hatty. I’ll take it!

  12. bluejaysway123

    It doesn’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning is winning.

  13. frmacleod

    That’s the most opening ass night victory I’ve ever seen. Sloppy as fuck and high scoring. But I’ll take it.

  14. Sleazy_T

    Props to Keefe for the early pull, paid off in spades.

  15. wageslave_999999999

    Best win possible montreals tank is hurt by a loser point and we get the W with 2 points

  17. asdf-7644

    If you don’t like that game, you don’t like Toronto Maple Leafs hockey!

  18. Agreeable-Raccoon-82

    i swear to god it’s always a nail-biting first game of the season vs the habs lol

    thanks auston for bailing us out xoxo

  19. ifonlyihadaname

    Matthew’s on pace for a casual 246 goals, and leafs on pace to go 82-0

    This is the year.

  21. ribbitysnickets

    BEST GAME EVER (in a lonnggg time) bless the Treliving Era LONG MAY IT PROSPER

  23. ACalz

    Habs had some fluky goals lmao. The Cole caufield one, Brodie fucking up.

  24. User82922

    As much as people wanna blame Keefe, I don’t think it’s on him for being so close. Not his fault he has guys tripping on themselves and missing passes they should never miss. Plus, he had some good calls on pulling goalie early

  25. RapsareChamps_Suckit

    now that’s how you win a game 1

  26. Pencil_of_Colour

    Look how happy he is to be a Maple Leaf. That smile.

  27. sadrapsfan

    Yea nah, my heart can take 81 games lik this lmao

  28. OntarioPaddler

    Wow the writers really just rehashing plots from past seasons?

  29. Cheap-Employee-8484

    Matthews coming to take his 🚀 back.

  30. Lass62

    Honestly fuck Montreal. I don’t care about rivalry, I’d love to see that team suffer for an eternity. We NEVER have easy games, I’d be SO content to have a divisional punching bag wearing a sideways toilet seat across their chest.

  31. JamesCurtis24

    Look, Samsonov didn’t have it tonight. But you know what the Leafs didn’t do? They didn’t let the foot off the gas pedal all night.

    This wasn’t 40 minutes of coasting then the Leafs try to make it up with 5 minutes left. The Leafs played hard all night, looked good, and Sammy had an off night. Big deal, off nights happen.

    I’m just more impressed with the full effort. The Leafs looked like the better team. Montreal scores 2 goals off Leaf players tripping on their own skates. Just shit happens.

    And you get it to OT, and Sammy does what he needs to do to win.

    Hopefully this sets the tone. The Leafs know right off the bat they’re never out of any game. Hopefully that encourages the 60 minute effort all night.

  32. djlista

    Montreal will go away now for awhile tell the next time they play the leafs

  33. Aidsinuranus

    Kept Josh Anderson off the board. This year is gonna be different.
