Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!

The Leafs went into Edmonton last night looking a little lacklustre, but going into Edmonton, ruining their day by making them start at 5PM local time, then just solidly scoring goals on them. It was great. Until Edmonton started scoring.

Paul Maurice made it to 900 wins in his career, an impressive feat.

Only 76 of those wins came with the Leafs, which I thought was really low, but he was only here two seasons. I thought he was here a lot longer

> The fourth coach in NHL history to reach 900 wins‼️ Congrats, Paul Maurice!
