John Tavares, Auston Matthews and Frederik Gauthier scored three quick goals in the second period and the Toronto Maple Leafs held off the Buffalo Sabres for a 5-3 win on Monday night. Tyler Ennis had the eventual winner in Toronto’s (38-20-4) four-goal second period and Kasperi Kapanen added some insurance with a short-handed, unassisted goal in the third period. CBC

City News prepared this report with video shot by a citizen showing a man engaged in dangerus ice hopping across Toronto Bay Sunday.

There’s much excitement and admiration expressed in a video published over the weekend for a hooded man who fills a bundle buggy bag with liquor from a LCBO store in Scarborough and then leaves without paying. James A Hess posted the apparently anonymous video to his Twitter account. Comments heard on the video range from “this guy is brilliant” and “that’s (big F) hilarious bro” and an admiring “Wow.” Mr. Wonderful and the videographer did however create some good material for the police. Let’s see if anyone knows the thief.

OPP say between 50 and 70 vehicles piled up on Highway 400 southbound south of Mapleview near Barrie in whiteout conditions Monday. Miraculously, no serious injuries were sustained. Kerry Schmidt of the OPP said that about 10 people were taken to hospital with minor injuries as a precaution.

Vehicles have all been removed from #Hwy400 SB south of Mapleview Drive. Highway remains closed for plowing and road repairs.

Toronto Fire Services to the rescue!  Three firemen are holding their hats in the wind as they try to secure the metal flashing that has been dislodged by the strong winds this morning.

Look out below!! Piece of metal on the roof of 1519 Bayview is flapping around in the wind. Pedestrians should keep an eye out for flying debris today 😖 #stormto pic.twitter.com/fivJZMJ9B8

A woman has received leg injuries when she was aparently hit intentionally with a car by another woman with whom she had had a fight. This occurred outside a bar at Eglinton Ave. E. and Midland Ave. around 4:30 a.m. Monday. A witness told 680 NEWS that after the driver struck the woman, she reversed and tried to hit her again. The car then struck two other vehicles and a building before speeding off.

Among the most vivid images of Sunday’s wind storm is video showing huge chunks of ice tumbling up onto the Niagara Parkway off the Niagara River near the Peace Bridge. The road had to be closed for several hours near Mather Arch. Witty social media comments like “construction of the wall between Canada and the U.S has began” were seen on social media.

A man climbed one of the 70-foot decorative towers in the Fane Zone of Scotiabank arena Sunday and had to be brought down by the fire service. He has been charged with public mischief. Reporters are asking why he did it. Because he could. The call came in about 5 p.m.

Faces, faces and first off this stoic gentleman (left). He’s a young soldier-son of Mother Russia, guarding the Putin victory train. It rolled out this weekend to show fellow Slavs some 500 EU and US weapons and other exhibits taken from Syrian rebels fighting against the wonderful president-for-life, Bashar al-Assad. Sheesh. Then at centre, MPP Lindsey Park (Durham) is a Golden Girl of sorts for insisting that self-sufficient elderly people should be permitted to live together in single family homes. Finally at right is Jason Dalton of Kalamazoo. His story is that the Uber app took over his body and made him kill six people.
