Open hockey letter

Dear Toronto Maple Leaf’s organization and team. You’ve done it. I thought I wouldn’t be getting my hopes up again this year after last year’s first-round loss to the Montreal Canadiens. That loss had marked another painful playoff chapter I have witnessed as a longtime fan of this team. I’ve seen first-round series losses to the Canadiens, Washington Capitals, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Boston Bruins (twice). To count, that’s five straight times I’ve been excited to see the

Trade analysis

In a column I wrote in the summer of 2021, I characterized the Toronto Maple Leafs’ offseason changes as full of risk. It turns out I was right. Some of the moves worked out.
