Once again, the Toronto Maple Leafs have fallen short of expectations. The Maple Leafs' front office now knows something is not working and has finally decided to do something about it. Was making Sheldon Keefe walk the plank the right move? Can Craig Berube make the current players tougher, grittier, and playoff-ready?
Defending champion Canada had to recover from an early scare before rallying to beat Finland 5-3 for its fifth victory in five games at the ice hockey world championship Saturday. Captain John Tavares set up the winning goal with his second assist with 8:28 remaining in the final period, finding Brandon Hagel at the left post to score into an open net. It was only the second shot on goal for Canada in the period. Dawson Mercer finished it off with an empty net goal with 20 seconds left.
Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans! As the NHL playoffs have somehow kept going without the Maple Leafs involved, the NHL has been announcing award nominees and yesterday they announced the winner of my favourite NHL Award: The Mark Messier Award for Being a Good Leader like Mark Messier was as Vancouver Canucks Captain as chosen by Mark Messier presented by Lays™: Bet You Can't Eat Just One™. Jacob Trouba is the winner of the 2024 Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award! @NYRangers | #NYR | #NHLAwards pic.twitter.com/19c76Y6A9m — NHL Network (@NHLNetwork) May 14, 2024 It's disappointing John Tavares didn't win, since he was captain of the Maple Leafs and they greatly underperformed under his leadership
