The more I think about it, the happier I am with the Toronto Maple Leafs start to the season.
A little adversity to overcome is a good thing, and half of the Toronto Maple Leafs first ten games were a five-game Western Road Trip. They played 2 sets of back-to-backs in the first ten games as well.
They played Erik Kallgren three times already.
Auston Matthews has lost his minutes.
And Matt Murray and Jake Muzzin went down. Sure, both players were known to be injury risks, but I don’t think one-game into the season was a reasonable bet for both to go down.
