"From an offensive standpoint, it had been a frustrating night for Canadiens defenceman Raphael Diaz.
It seemed that every time he teed up a shot there was a Toronto player in the shooting lane to block it.
"I had a couple of shots, but every one was blocked. But this one, I just closed my eyes and shot the puck," Diaz said after his third-period shot from the point snapped a 1-1 tie and propelled the Canadiens to a 3-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday night in a crucial game for both teams.
The difference on this shot was that while Diaz may have been stretching the truth a bit when he said he closed his eyes, Toronto goaltender Jonas Gustavsson didn't see the puck coming."
