## Resource

The Toronto Maple Leafs’ disastrous 2023 season ended with them missing the playoffs entirely and surrendering a league-worst 295 goals — the most in over 30 years. Their defense crumbled under relentless pressure, allowing an average of 32.4 shots per game while struggling across the board. With the first overall draft pick as their only silver lining, the team’s survival hinges on fixing their defensive collapse — forwards must close out, defensemen must clear the net, and goalies must rise to the occasion. One season to fix it, or another year of heartbreak for Leafs fans. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
