One night after donning the sombrero of shame, Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake Muzzin had a wonderful game and completely redeemed himself.
In the aftermath of the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 loss on opening night, Jake Muzzin may have been felt the slight sting of criticism for his mostly terrible performance.
He was terrible in game one. With Muzzin on the ice, the Leafs were out scored, out chanced, out shot and did not come close to winning the puck-possession battle.
Forget the two errors that led to goals – they looked bad and you remember them, but they are just what is bound to happen when you spend all night on your heels getting beat, shift after shift.
