Thank God he didn’t.

It would be difficult for any player to not score on the chance that Drouin had, which was from a beautiful pass from Josh Anderson on a 2-on-1. It was a goal that made even Toronto Maple Leafs fans happy, as if anyone should score on the Leafs, it may as well be as good a story as Drouin’s.

And it wasn’t just the one play, the entire line looked fantastic the whole game, but we shall get to that later.
