^ Lol. I should text my Leaf buddy in Toronto to congratulate.

Yeah, absolutely. They also seem to play short of a major guy or two all the time due to injuries. Even Ovi took a few games off last season, if I recall correctly, due to an injury. I do think they will still make the playoffs though. Other great teams are suffering from the same “age effect”. Not sure about Kuemper though. He is good, but can’t trust that guy when it really counts.
