Mondays FTB: The eights of Maple Leafs history
Photo by Harry How/Getty ImagesIt’s March 8th, 2021, and I have the daily chat and news post for you. What I don’t have is anything interesting to say (whether this is new or old information for you is debatable). So, what I will do is go through the posts I’ve already made about the number eight.
Why? I don’t know.
Starting off, is the actual number eight.
Sid Smith was an amazing player and no one else who has worn number eight for the Leafs has come very close to matching his status. Four Stanley Cups, 369 points, former captain. Currently Jake Muzzin wears the number eight, and he may be the best player to wear it since Smith.
