We realized it can sometimes be hard to keep up with all the best Leafs #content, so here’s a quick rundown of what’s been going on lately!

Weed is legal in Canada now! How can we make it about the Leafs? (Don’t read this.)

Auston Matthews might want a 5-year deal instead of the typical 7-8 (like Connor McDavid)….and some people want you to think that’s totally fine. (It is.)

Isn’t news: “A Leaf broke a record!” / Is news: “Leafs’ defenceman Morgan Rielly broke a BOBBY ORR record” (Also, I named my dog after him.)

Everyone on Twitter has felt the need to weigh on the McDavid vs. Matthews debate, so Down Goes Brown took a totally 100% serious in-depth look at how the two players compare in a few key areas. [Heads up! This article is behind a paywall. ?]

Despite missing Monday’s game against the Kings with a knee injury, Frederik Andersen is expected to start vs. Pittsburgh on Thursday. Woohoo!

If you somehow missed it earlier this week, Tim Hortons invited Kenya’s only hockey team to Canada. (Try not to cry.)

(Former Leaf) Tomas Plekanec played in his 1000th game–and it was, of course, at the Bell Centre. [Heads up! This article is behind a paywall. ?]
