The Toronto Maple Leafs got some bad news on Friday: The NHL is going to the Olympics.
This is great news for fans of international competition, but as far as the Toronto Maple Leafs are concerned, I am pretty sure they’d rather not have their best players playing playoff-style hockey for another team, in the middle of the season.
The NHL’s decision to go the Olympics, which means pausing the season, risking injury, playing games in the middle of the night, and doing it all during a pandemic is reckless and crazy.
