Toronto Maple Leafs Captain Looking to Silence Critics

Toronto Maple Leafs captain John Tavares is fully healthy, according to Mike Zeisberger from the Toronto Sun. It took him a little more than a full year to be symptom-free.

Tavares sustained two injuries in Game 1 of the Toronto Maple Leafs series with the Montreal Canadiens in May 2021. The first injury was a minor knee injury from the initial hit by Ben Chiarot, followed by the gruesome head injury suffered by an unintentional knee to the head from Corey Perry.

Miraculously, Tavares got cleared to play before the 2021-22 season started.
