Fans were very curious about Laughton and Carlo as it pertains to who their linemates were going to be for tonight's game.
In the end, the outcome was pretty well what everyone was expecting, although it will still be exciting to see how it all works out in the end.
Overall, the Maple Leafs have a great shot at going deep in the playoffs and with some gritty guys on the team, that is now especially true.
Tonight's game is also important because they are on a two-game losing streak and that is not the kind of monentum you want right about now.
