Carey Price robs Phil Kessel in closing seconds

The Maple Leafs and Canadiens had a wild ending to their season opener on Wednesday with Montreal escaping with a 4-3 win after the two teams exchanged goals in the final two minutes, including a game-tying goal by Toronto's Morgan Reilly and the eventual game-winner which was scored by Tomas Plekanec.

Phil Kessel nearly tied it again for Toronto with less than 20 seconds to play when he had a wide open look five feet out, only to be robbed by Carey Price. The surest sign of all that hockey season is officially back is the Toronto Maple Leafs losing in some crushing manner. Nicely done, boys.
