The injury bug continues to chomp on the Toronto Maple Leafs, as the team announced they've placed William Nylander on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury. Nylander hits the IR, meanwhile the Leafs have recalled defenceman Marshall Rifai from the AHL's Toronto Marlies, as Chris Tanev is expected to confirm surgery this week on his groin, and could be done for the season.

I won't deny that I was very against the idea that both Drew Doughty and Travis Sanheim were named to the Canadian Olympic team on Wednesday, and I voiced those opinions on January 1 on The Hockey Show .
