Call of the Wilde: Slumping Montreal Canadiens no match for Toronto Maple Leafs
Global News
The Montreal Canadiens have now only four wins in their first 15 games after losing to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.
With only four wins in their first 15 games, it has been an extremely discouraging start to the season for the Montreal Canadiens. One of their only four wins came against the Maple Leafs on opening night, so on Saturday, they met a foe in Toronto who had revenge on their minds.
The Leafs dominated start to finish dropping Montreal 4-1.

There has been so much underachieving this season offensively. There are perhaps two players on the entire team that are achieving beyond expectations – Cole Caufield and Brendan Gallagher.
Last season, many were speculating if it would be a good idea to buy out the remaining years of Gallagher’s contract. He finished with a flourish, and this year he has picked up where he left off.
In the second period, with the Canadiens held in single digits halfway through the game in shots, Gallagher parked in front of the net where the pain comes, as well as the goals. He batted a rebound out of the air for his seventh of the year in 15 games.
Gallagher finishing with close to 40 would be a miracle, but that’s what he is on pace for almost at the quarter mark of the season. Gallagher with a 30 goal season would even be a miracle. For now, marvel at the work rate that never falters no matter what the score and the mood on the bench. He refuses to be deterred.
