Well we are just one week away from things returning to normal for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the NHL.
The Toronto Maple Leafs will be back playing at the Air Canada Centre in front of actual fans and competing in the Atlantic Division again after the rigors of a makeshift 2020-2021 season are no more.
That means no more North Division and no more facing only Canadian teams. Now we get to welcome players and teams from outside of the great white north, many of whom will offer greater competition and provide a real benchmark for the level of play required to be a true Cup contender…wait, maybe this isn’t such a good thing after all.
