I made a bracket a little over a week ago, including 16 of the best goals scored from this past Toronto Maple Leafs season, and in the bracket, there were eight matchups in the first round. On our Twitter page (@TLNdc) we posted a poll every afternoon with one matchup from round one where you had the chance to vote on the goal you thought was the best.
Now that round one is officially done, we have our results from that round, including who advanced, who got eliminated, what the total votes were, and of course, what the matchups are in round two. As seen below, you will see all eight first-round matchups and what the total votes were after the voting closed.
Matchup one:
Winner: Mitch Marner vs VGK (Nov. 2, 2021) – 96% of votes
Loser: Ondrej Kase vs SJ (Oct. 22, 2021) – 4% of votes
Matchup two:
Winner: Auston Matthews vs COL (Dec. 1, 2021) – 76% of votes
Loser: William Nylander vs SJ (Nov. 26, 2021) – 24% of votes
Matchup three:
Winner: Morgan Rielly vs PIT (Feb. 17, 2022) – 86% of votes
