The Leafs did not show their best last night but still managed to come out with a win in a pretty unique fashion. Playing the Florida Panthers, who came off a back-to-back, the Leafs looked slow and struggled at times to keep up with the physical play of the Panthers.
William Nylander was asked after the game about the team's play, and he slipped up briefly, dropping the f-word mid-interview.
The slip-up earned some laughs from both Nylander and the media surrounding him, as he smiled after his mistake on live TV.
The Leafs' win was not without its own drama, as the Panthers had thought they won the game after Rodrigues appeared to score in the shootout to win it. After review, though, it was confirmed he put the puck in on a rebound, and players were called back to the ice for Noah Gregor to score the winner just one attempt later.
The Leafs have been able to show their success in winning games in overtime and shootouts, as they have had the most games this year go into extra time.
