Therrien called the Habs winning goal a "lucky break," but added the Leafs tying goal was "a lucky break" too.

Standing at ice level beside Price when he made that final leg save. So quick. Game saver.

This is a very Maple Leafs ending

The last time the Leafs lost to the Habs in the season opener was 2009/10. They proceeded to lose 51 more and finish 29th overall.

#Leafs didn't allow a game-winning goal in the final minute of a game last season…They did in the season opener tonight.

PK Subban: "We're a resilient group. I'm not surprised we came back so quickly" in the third, with the game winner.

In case you missed it, you can also see a recap of the first two periods via the Twitterverse below:
FIRST PERIOD:
Max Pacioretty's back at it again! He beats Bernier to give the Habs a 1-0 lead in the first period. #GoHabsGo
— Canadiens Montréal (@CanadiensMTL) October 8, 2014
The first goal of the season goes to Max Pacioretty. Won't be his last either.

Leafs dominate possession early, give up first goal, fire analytics department.

As he did 2 years ago in Montreal. Kadri scores Leafs' 1st on deflection of Kozun shot. 1-1. #TMLtalk
— Paul Hendrick (@HennyTweets) October 8, 2014
First goal goes to # 43 Kadri instead of #67 Kozun. Leafs lost in the semis in 1943, which i imagine most fans would take this year.

WHERE CAN I GET A CHIHUAHUA-SIZED BRANDON KOZUN JERSEY?

The Tragically Hip will write song about Brandon Kozun.

Hello ? Real Sports? That's 67 on the back with K-O-Z-U-N on the back . Sold out? Already?

All four #Leafs penalty killers were not on team last season – Komarov, Winnik, Percy, Polak.
— Mike Zeisberger (@Zeisberger) October 8, 2014
Percy looks anything but nervous in his NHL debut. Excellent passer, low panic point.
— Damien Cox (@DamoSpin) October 8, 2014
Have Percy! Leafs up 2-1 as Bozak buries the Percy pass Watch it live now on Sportsnet http://t.co/1QqbXeah4q – http://t.co/fyaLuTHNEu

And Percy with his first NHL point. Showing value of grooming kids in the minors.
— Damien Cox (@DamoSpin) October 9, 2014
Has Percy took a shift off yet? Guy's getting a lot of ice and looking good.
— Steve Dangle Glynn (@Steve_Dangle) October 8, 2014
James van Riemsdyk led the #Leafs in first period ice time (8:42). Peter Holland had the least (2:13).

SECOND PERIOD:
Plekanec just burned past Gardiner and Rielly (20-year-old #Leafs D playing off side) to score on back-hander to tie score at 2-2 for #Habs.
— Stephen Whyno (@SWhyno) October 9, 2014
Plekanec's ratio of goals to breakaways currently at 1.000.
— Аrpon Basu (@ArponBasu) October 9, 2014
Tomas Plekanec scores, returns to bench. His moustache is still out on the ice receiving applause.

Nice Air Canada Centre ovation for Walter Gretzky, who is celebrating his 76th birthday. #greatone

Bozak appears to get hooked from behind while facing an open net. No call. Chats with the zebra on way off ice #Leafs #Habs
