With the NHL season well underway, I decided to talk about my favourite team in the NHL; the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Maple Leafs are currently fifth in their division with 17 points, 8 wins and 6 losses. In their conference, they are 9th, and in the entire league, they are 16th. The Leafs are a very big power house team, with players like Auston Matthews, John Tavares, William Nylander, Morgan Riley, only to name a few. The Leafs have had their ups and downs this season with the unfortunate loss of their teammate Mitch Marner, who was traded to the Golden Knights before the start of the season. There have been other problems with the Leafs core, such as the injury to Chris Tanev. Tanev was taken off the ice on a stretcher during a game against the Philadelphia Flyers on November 1st. It looked like a normal shoulder to shoulder hit, but then Tanev fell to the ice and didn’t move for several minutes.
Since then, Tanev has been discharged from the hospital and allowed to go home to recover. Meanwhile, there have been good moments as well, such as John Tavares getting his 500th point as a Maple Leaf. This is the second team that he has 500 points with (the first was the Islanders).

The Leafs are now looking ahead to future games, which includes 3 more games against the Montreal Canadiens and 4 games against the Ottawa Senators. In the next 5 games, the Leafs will be facing the Kings, Blackhawks, Blues, Blue Jackets and finally, Montreal
As most people know, the Leafs have had their demons for a long time, which has caused them to lose in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs multiple times. But I am hoping that they can make it further than the second round (the last time they reached the third round was in 2002).
Go Leafs Go!
