Now a Bleacher Report Featured Columnist for the Toronto Maple Leafs, I look forward to having the opportunity of writing about my favourite team each and every week.

Upsets, overtimes, shootouts, and plays that you just cannot see enough replays of; could it possibly get any better? No, well, not unless they stopped hammering players for touchdown celebrations.

Like I said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Thank you for commenting, Jon.
