Vibes are immaculate. Hockey night in Toronto. Another sold out crowd for the PWHL. https://t.co/CZgRSRV81q
Good evening sports fans from Maple Leaf Gardens. Thrilled to be attending my first PWHL game. At this historic setting. Toronto vs Boston coming up. https://t.co/iRCfYu6Ult
Feels like a perfect night for PWHL hockey in Toronto. Making my way to Mattamy for tonightโs game between @PWHL_Toronto vs Boston. See you there?
LEON DRAISAITL, WHAT A BACKHAND ๐ฑ https://t.co/Y0IxByoPXH
Draisaitl backhand. Not a good look for Jones. #Leafs lead cut to 2-1.
A Leon Draisaitl backhander from the corner gets the Oilers on the board. 2-1 TOR
Draisaitl with a weird backhander that goes through McCabe and Jones and gets in. 2-1 TOR now.
#Leafs up 1-0 after one period. Without Jones, they are not.
Hell of a play by Marner /Matthews to take a 1-0 lead over the Oilers.
Auston Matthews scores 27 seconds into the game off a feed from Mitch Marner and the crowd erupts. There a lot -- A LOT -- of Leafs fans here. 1-0 Maple Leafs.
That's a start, eh? 1-0 #Leafs, Matthews.
