Leafs looked great tonight rolling all over Ottawa in their season opener.
As expected John Tavares was introduced as the team captain during the player introductions. That was no big surprise. There was a rumour circulating earlier that Morgan Rielly may get the nod but the 'C' was rightly given to the veteran superstar Tavares who previously held the 'C' while starring for the Islanders. The alternate captains will be Auston Matthews, Morgan Rielly & Mitchell Marner. All well-deserved honors.
Auston Matthews had 2 goals, Tyson Barrie had 2 assists and newcomer Ilya Mikheyev has a goal and an assist.
Next game for the Leafs is Saturday night in Toronto against the habs. Prediction: Leafs win & it won't even be close.
