So far, the Toronto Maple Leafs are having a slightly disappointing season in 2023-24. Their 27-16-8 record isn’t bad, far from it, but it still puts the club in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Let’s agree on one thing right off the bat. Marc-André Fleury’s career since his NHL debut has been nothing short of exceptional. He’s won Stanley Cups and individual trophies, ranks 2nd in NHL goaltending victories (552) and represented Canada at the 2010 Olympic Games… A few weeks ago, the Quebecer also played his 1,000th career […]

Christian Dvorak’s injury put pressure on the group, forcing the 11-7 format. Because the Habs have plenty of defensemen in […]
