Hello, Maple Leafs fans, it’s a preseason gameday and I am excited. No, really, I am enjoying this preseason likely for the same reasons a recent article called the Leafs boring. There isn’t any major drama that gets everyone in a spin, but there are interesting players to watch. There’s too many players, which is better than too few — particularly when they all start taking days off for things even you or I would “play through”.
The teams are not full of AHL fourth liners, and there isn’t (so far) a lot of incidents that bring out the famous wheel of discipline and our friends at the Department of Player Safety.
