By Joseph Zita
1 year agoRound two is officially over and the third-round matchups are now set to begin today. We started with 16 of the best goals from this past Maple Leafs season (eight matchups) and have narrowed it down to the final four goals. With the help of all of you over at our Twitter (@TLNdc) you will get a chance to vote on what goal you think deserves to move on to the finals.
We have two matchups in round three, and they’re all pretty nice goals so it’ll be challenging to decide, but before we get into that, let’s go over the second-round matchups to see who advanced, who got eliminated, and what the total votes were in each matchup.
