Toronto Maple Leafs have a lucky number 23

Toronto hosted the Washington Capitals Thursday night. Toronto had a lot of play in them and had a lucky number on their side all night #23, Toronto scored 23 seconds left to play in the first period and 23 seconds into the second they scored again. This was Torontos 23rd game in the Maple Leaf Season and during this game they honoured Pat Quinn who wore the number 23 and died November 23. It's weird that 23 was a popular number that night and they think that possibly Pat Quinn was watching over them and gave them that good luck to pull out the 6-2 win over the Washington Capitals

Connor MaDavid Out Five To Six Weeks

Connor McDavid was involved in a fight Tuesday night against Mississauga's player  Bryson Cianfrone. During the fight Connor went to through a punch at Bryson and missed and hit the top of the bored.    The fractured bone extends from the base of the pinkie finger to the wrist and he will not have to have any surgery to fix it. The 17 year old McDavid went to see a specialist after Tuesday nights game. McDavid being out sets him back to December 24th and he will almost certainly miss the Canadian World Juniors with there first game to be played on December 26th against Slovakia.

With the 17 year old hockey star being so young and already being into fights everyone is going to want to draft him on there team because they want men who can fight like McDavid showed people he can do in Tuesday nights game. Although the NHL is slowly trying to dismiss fighting from the league people are still going to fight its what the crowd likes and they have to every so often to show teams that they are not just a weak team that can score goals and do everything that they get paid to do but you also need to show them that you can defend your team.

I personally think now with all that great plays McDavid has played he will personally have no problem getting into the NHL and now managers and teams will be looking over him when he gets back into the game. As of right now it looks like he will be missing the world juniors but the team hopes that it will heal and he can get the okay from the specialist and be allowed to played and show his true hockey skills to all the NHL team mangers that will be there looking and watching over people that they can draft into the NHL and onto there team. I personally think the NHL should not get rid of fighting because there will always be the two people that want to fight and need to defend themselves and there team but maybe they need to give out bigger penalties to the people who do fight instead of just a five minute major penalty. NHL should be giving out game suspensions and fines and that will maybe stop fighting a little bit but there will still be the odd fight in the NHL and still keep the fans and sport interesting.
