NHL Game Highlights | Canadiens vs. Maple Leafs, Game 1 - May 20, 2021

Paul Byron scored a highlight reel shorthanded goal in the third period that proved to be the game-winner and the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 to take a 1-0 series lead.

_Is "the code" tells to be vengeful of an accident❓ clearly Perry didn't want to hurt Tavares.👀_

[@travisobrien1533]

It's because it's the playoffs the captain and one of the teams best players was severely injured. Everyone knows it was an accident, but the fight had to happen. Think about everyone on the leafs bench wondering if their captain's career is over. At the time anything was possible, but thank god Tavares is okay. No one took a cheapshot on Perry, THAT would have been very wrong

@@travisobrien1533 Nobody can take care of that kind of situation on the habs', in my view, it deserve retribution on Foligno, i used to like him, but now... not so much.

For trivia wonks -- that's 9 straight playoff wins for the Canadiens over the Leafs.

[@arthurau9231]

This is why I wanted the Leafs to play the Jets in the playoffs instead of the Habs. Leafs would've won a playoff series against the Jets because the Leafs matchup better against the Jets than they do against the Habs.

Price is really amazing! What a stop on Nylander and Marner’s 2-on-1 in the 3rd period. Matthews had 8 shots, while Marner had 5. Both were unable to outsmart Price, even from the enclave, sometimes. The only goal he gave tonight was lucky (it deviated before he found himself on the Nylander pallet) and he only had to push into the cage. But Price just stole a game.
