The Maple Leafs were outscored 19-2 in the second period, which is embarrassing considering how tight things were. Despite entering the period with a 4-3 lead, the Hurricanes scored a power play goal off the stick of Taylor Hall, who had not scored in his last thirteen games. Nylander came as close as he could to the goal, and as I mentioned in the first sentence of this article, he somehow found a way to miss a wide open cage in a different way than the post-lat-out he performed on Saturday.
Nylander had the hat trick
With about seven minutes left in the period, Jake McCabe fumbled a breakaway pass to his own blueline and gave it to the Hurricanes, who turned it into an odd rush and found the back of the net to end the game.
Logan Stankoven makes it 5-4
If you’ve been reading my content this year, I’ve been hammering home the narrative that the Leafs simply soldiered through October, as they always do before turning it on in November. The November Leafs looked like they had arrived, winning the first three games of the month, but this weekend’s efforts may have single-handedly destroyed the honor they had built for themselves. Berube will be rightfully furious about this outcome and the Leafs will try to channel that into a revenge win against the Bruins on Tuesday, but it won’t be easy if they keep playing like this.
