The latest in the onslaught of bad news was Jake Muzzin out on IR with a cervical spine injury. The injury will have Muzzin side lined for at least up until late February and will need a reevaluation before anything happens.
The Toronto Maple Leafs players have shown their support for one of their own. Mitch Marner has been extremely vocal about his support for his teammate and friend and went on to say that it was an extremely emotional time when Muzzin broke the news to him.
Any injury is a serious injury in hockey. You never want to see your brother sidelined from the game you love playing. But with this injury on Muzzin's cervical spine, it puts things in perspective for everyone that at the end of the day, life isn't just about hockey.
