You know what I thought the highlight of Saturday night was? In the second. The hometown Leafs fans started a "Go Leafs Go" chant -- and it got drowned out by a "Go Sens Go" chant.The other random thought I had was that the hometown Leafs fans really gave the team that home-style welcome, right down to booing them in the third.
Classy.
Overall I thought that Ottawa deserved to win. Maybe Toronto didn't deserve to get shut out, but more than a goal would have been flattering to both the Leaf effort and discipline. Both Khadri and Kessel whiffed on open net opportunities, but that's what happens to most players most of the time.
For once it wasn't Ottawa making stupid defensive lapses. For once it wasn't Ottawa making turnovers on botched outlet passes. For once it wasn't the LeClaire facing odd-man rushes.
Fisher was on, collecting two pretty goals, an assist on Kovalev's marker, plus a post.
It wasn't the prettiest game, but at least the hometown Leafs fans were shut up a bit, and that's never a bad thing.
