Grade:  85/100.  Pretty rough, but worth it to see the blue Penguins uniforms!

 

Notes:  A fight breaks out in the first minute of play, the result of consecutive nights of competition between these two teams.  The Leafs go up 3-0 in the first 9 minutes while the Pens spend time in the penalty box.  Pittsburgh comes back to score 4 unanswered goals, but Toronto ties it up with 54 seconds left to play in the game.  22 seconds later the Penguins score and hold onto the win, shutting down the Maple Leafs’ 15 game winning streak.

Thanks Dave!
