Brad Marchand seems to have a soft spot for the Toronto Maple Leafs these days. The Leafs are set to take on the Panthers on Tuesday night, and Marchand was asked about Toronto's slow start to the season. Through 25 games, the Maple Leafs are out of a playoff spot and sit tied for last in the Atlantic Division with the Panthers. “If people are thinking (the Leafs) are out of a playoff spot for the season, they gotta find a new job.”Word! The Toronto native has never played a game for the Maple Leafs, but there may be some residual goodwill toward them because they are his hometown team.
