The Toronto Maple Leafs have a spring in their step as they embark on a 5 game road trip. This is quite puzzling considering athletes traditionally prefer spending time with their families and sleeping in their own beds, things they can do while playing at home. It’s also slightly confusing because teams winless in their first 7 games are usually dragging their feet rather than walking with a noticeable bounce, but the Toronto Maple Leafs are trying to remain positive despite their sluggish start.
In fact, being on the road could be the best thing for this team, escaping the microscopic, over-analyzing media of Toronto and being able to play a more relaxed game. They see it as a fresh start; after having a week off in between games and now a road trip, the Leafs are trying to forget about the past struggles and will start again from scratch.
