It was an ugly night in Toronto, as the Leafs got blanked 3-0 by the Canucks. Fans were unhappy and definitely took a stand while the Canucks made history.
Toronto Maple Leafs, playing at home on Hockey Night in Canada, not only lost to the Vancouver Canucks, but got shut out 3-0, leaving frustrated fans feeling robbed of what was supposed to be an exciting matchup
This wasn't just any loss for Toronto. Saturday's defeat was a historic low.
Leafs get shutout on home ice by Canucks for the first time ever
Everything seemed to be in favor of the home side. But instead of taking advantage of their opponent's woes, the Leafs turned in a flat performance devoid of energy or effort.
Meanwhile, Canucks goalie
Kevin Lankinen made some fantastic saves and shut the door on all 20 shots the Maple Leafs managed to direct at him.
Good as
Lankinen was, his performance just pointed out in color the big problem at the other end of the rink: the Maple Leafs just didn't show up.
To fans expecting fireworks, it ended in bitter disappointment, with their hopes of a great game that were snuffed by a team that failed to rise to the occasion.
