Toronto Maple Leafs News: Granberg Injury, Twitter Troll
If the Toronto Maple Leafs were hoping to have Petter Granberg on the blueline to start 2015-2016 they will need a backup plan.
Granberg tore his Achilles while training in Sweden and will be out at least four months after successful surgery.

With the Leafs current blueline state, Granberg playing on opening night was definitely an option – which is clearly cloudy at best right now.
The injury will open up an opportunity for someone else to push for an opening night spot – someone like Stuart Percy or T.J. Brennan.
