Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!
Because of various reasons there isn’t much NHL news happening and today I’d rather not get into all that. It’s my favourite time of year and I’m staying positive where I can.
Today the Maple Leafs should have played the St. Louis Blues in what has become an annual pre-Christmas matinee. Since the centennial season, the Leafs have played a matinee just ahead or during the elementary school winter break, in the tradition of minor and junior teams hosting school day games, but without the extra incentive of selling group packages to schools to goose attendance numbers.
