Everyone is talking aboutt Muzzin. The new Maple Leaf will make his Maple Leafs debut in tonight’s game against the Red Wings. It’s been over a week since the last Leafs game when they destroyed the Capitals 6-3. Hopefully there’s no All-Star Break hangovers tonight.

We’ll have a preview of tonight’s game up later this morning.
