The Toronto Maple Leafs lost game one, but the score seemed secondary after a horrific injury to John Tavares.
The Toronto Maple Leafs captain thankfully has been discharged from the hospital, but likely won’t play for a while. With head injuries it is impossible to even guess at a timeline, so the Leafs will just have to move foreword without one of their best players for the time being.
