Leafs try the one good period gambit, it doesn’t pay out

First Period:

The Leafs played so fast they made up for the very, very slow to get started “7 PM” game.

Not a glorious moment of defensive zone play by anyone there.

Columbus comes back, seemingly, but it’s a high stick. No wait, sorry, it is a high stick but it isn’t called back.

Final score 4-3 for the bad guys.
