The Toronto Maple Leafs have had an unfortunate amount of injuries so far.
All the more so, since the Toronto Maple Leafs only just opened training camp, and have so far played just the two games (on a single day).
But regarding all the injuries, one thing jumps out at me:
They couldn’t have come at a better time.
The NHL Pre-Season is extremely boring and totally meaningless. The Leafs injuries are unable to hurt them at this time, and therefore could not have come at a better time.
If they’re going to happen, and they might as well happen now, when they do the least amount of damage.
