Maple Leafs Fan Base Just Proved Why Nobody Wants to Play For Them
Last night in Montreal, Canada, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens played their respective season-opening games. The only difference between the Maple Leafs and last year's club was the arrival of goalkeeper Matt Murray, who started in goal for the Canadiens, who had a virtually entirely different lineup.
The majority of people would think Murray put up a tremendous performance, but the team in front of him truly let him down; Toronto just did not defend well, allowing the Canadiens several 2 on 1 opportunities that resulted in goals.
However, like with everything in Toronto, Matt Murray, the goalkeeper, was singled out by the media and the public for criticism. Since leaving the Pittsburgh Penguins, Murray has had a difficult three-and-a-half years, and he was hoping to turn things around in a brand-new Leafs uniform while carrying a lot of pressure from the Toronto media.
The game was tied, eighteen seconds on the clock, and the Canadiens scored to take the win.
