What I like about this period was the defensive responsibility. Orr took a stupid penalty early, but the Raymond call was charmin soft, and the Leafs took it like pros and it gave them life. No matter what, I loved that we got the puck out well and transitioned nicely. We got some nice goaltending and some great play from franson of all people. I don't know what they said to him but if he can keep that up that'll certainly do.
They made simple passes--but they didn't just dump it out. They made smart passes and tried hard to battle in the neutral zone. Despite the shot totals early, after the penalty kills I knew the worm would turn soon, and it did.
