It’s a slow time of year for Toronto Maple Leafs fans, with most of the top free agents signed by now, and little else happening in the hockey world.
Sitting on the cottage dock and lazily casting out my favourite fishing lure (a floating Rapala minnow), I was lucky to be visited by a close friend, who is a fellow fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
He also happens to be a time traveler.
Of course, I was interested in finding out what happens with the Toronto Maple Leafs in the upcoming season.
For the low cost of a barbecued cheeseburger and a couple of summer beverages, I got the lowdown on what to expect, and I’m happy to share it with you at no cost.
Before I get to the hockey, a couple of other futuristic tidbits are in order. The Buffalo Bills beat the Dallas Cowboys 28-24 in February in Superbowl LVIII (there is sometimes justice in the sporting world).
The Blue Jays made it to the ALCS this October and blew a 12-1 lead in Game 7 to the eventual World Series champion Houston Astros (more often there is no justice).
What Did the Toronto Maple Leafs Do in 2023-2024?
I won’t even mention the other tenants of Scotiabank Arena (Marlies bad, Raptors ugly). But that’s okay, Auston, Mitch, Willy Styles and the gang provided another year of fantastic excitement. You need to know how your favourite player did in 2023-2024. You’re itching to find out if Matthews and Nylander signed extensions to stay with the Leafs into the 2030’s. And most of all, you NEED to know….did they finally win the darn Cup???
