Habs, Leafs comeback to victory against New York
The New York Rangers and New York Islanders both recieved a harsh lesson about playing a 60 minute game last night.
The Montreal Canadiens produced a 4 goal effort in the third period to complete their come from behind win over the Islander 5-4 last night. Forward Alexei Kovalev's second score of the game completed the comeback win for the Habs.
The New York Rangers got a major wake-up call from the never say die Toronto Maple Leafs who potted 5 goals in the final 5 minutes of the game. The Leafs quickly erased the Rangers 2-0 lead and kept on scoring to seal the 5-2 route of their Original Six rival. The Leafs who were predicted to be the worst team in the NHL by many this season are playing some inspired hockey under new head coach Ron Wilson and refuse to yield.
Your friend on ice,

Montreal is a dangerous, dangerous team this year. Of course, there's really NOTHING dangerous about the Islanders but still...anytime you score 4 in the third you're doing something pretty special.
What the Leafs did to the Rangers is pretty mind-boggling. Their roster looks like an AHL team but what they're doing is pretty impressive so far.
