The Leafs' first tilt against Arizona was a chaotic mess: Toronto fell behind 2-0 (at home! ), came back to tie, coughed one up on the power play (after an all-time egregious turnover), then appeared to tie the game again with 39 seconds left in regulation only to have the goal overturned by a controversial hand pass ruling.
