The Leafs have been enjoying some fun in the sun this past week, thanks to the NHL's newly-mandated "bye week" policy. As consideration for accepting a 3-on-3 All-Star Game format, the NHL granted every team a five-day reprieve from games and practices at a randomly-determined point in January or February.The reaction among the Leafs of this new break was decidedly mixed; Mike Babcock was not a fan, but the players seem to have enjoyed it just fine.
The bye week has been rough on the fans who have had five days to mull over a 5-3 loss to the hated Habs.
