Toronto Maple Leafs Should Not Focus On Getting More Physical

The Toronto Maple Leafs are a team that excels at physical hockey.

What? You thought the Toronto Maple Leafs were a bunch of wimps who constantly get pushed around and don’t have what it takes for playoff hockey?

Give me a break here, man.

It’s 2022, not 1998.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are a perfectly built hockey team, and to the extent that they even need to add another player, they should be looking for a star player who is a game-breaker who will make them significantly better at winning hockey games.

Games, I might remind you, which are usually won by whichever team has the puck the most, and therefore throws the LEAST bodychecks.
