On Saturday night, the Leafs and Canadiens renewed their rivalry, but for the last few years it hasn't really been much of a rivalry.
The last time Toronto got a victory against Montreal was back on January 18th of 2014 and Carey Price, who started for the Habs, was 11-0 in his last 11 games against the Buds going into Saturday night's contest.
A post shared by TSN (@tsn_official) on
Much like the David and Goliath story, Auston Matthews and the Leafs toppled the giants in overtime and their were extremely pumped about finally beating their longtime rivals for the first time in what seemed like forever.

I have Matthews OT winner as his 3rd nicest/most impressive goal of the season. They've played 5 games.

Auston Matthews - five goals in five games. Eight pts. 131 pt pace. Ridiculous talent.

After many years of being the greater foe, the French are now officially inferior.
Until further notice, I now own Montreal

When Auston Matthews is draft eligible you tank and hope u win the lottery. Toronto did just that. And, the rest my friends, will be history

Not sure there is a way to describe the amount of skill and concentration Auston Matthews had to have to score the OT winner vs. Montreal.
