Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Jack Campbell was distraught after the Montreal Canadiens series-clinching 3-1 victory in Game 7 on Monday night.
A shot from Brendan Gallagher squeezed through his legs to give the Canadiens a 1-0 lead in the second period and Montreal went on to complete a comeback from a 3-1 series deficit. It’s just tough, Campbell said in near tears. I just think of how hard our team battled and for it to end on the worst goal of my career, to happen in Game 7, is not acceptable.
Though the shot was one that Campbell would like back, goaltending was not the issue during the Maple Leafs collapse that kept them from their first playoff series victory since 2004.
Until Thursday, it looked like the Toronto Maple Leafs had learned from the past. Then they seized a 3-1 series lead against Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens, cueing up their most spectacular collapse of all. Which is saying something.
