A ridiculous stat about the Leafs for Wednesday's game against the Sabres
The Sportsnet Stats account on Twitter revealed something interesting about the Leafs' game tonight against the Buffalo Sabres. Brace yourselves, Leafs Nation - this could bring up painful memories.
Per SN Stats, when the Leafs face Craig Anderson tonight, it will be their first time playing against a goaltender who is at least 40 years old since their disastrous outing against the Carolina Hurricanes in the David Ayres game (February 22, 2020).
I suppose that means that the Buds stand a pretty good chance of outshooting the Sabres 45-20 and still losing the game. I swear - this team is cursed.
At the moment, the score is 1-1 with the shots even at 4 apiece as well with around 6 minutes left in the period. Hopefully for the sake of the fans in attendance (the first game back at Scotiabank Arena with 100% fan attendance), the Leafs can find a way to get it done in what is a very winnable game.
