Muzzin gives the Toronto Maple Leafs something approximating the best first pairing of blue-liners in the NHL, and it gives them something approximating the best roster in the NHL.
Add in the fact that they haven’t played for over a week and that their first game back is against the NHL’s worst team – at least on paper, if not the standings – and you’ve got a recipe for high expectations.
Frankly, the Leafs should crush the Detroit Red Wings.
Leafs vs Red Wings
So far this year, the Leafs and Red Wings have played three times.
