Chris Tanev is On the Verge of Breaking a Maple Leafs Franchise Record and He Doesn't Care At All

When Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving brought in Chris Tanev during the summer, it was clear that he was going to be a stud for this team's blue line.

For years, he has been heralded as one of those defenseman who is always responsible with his job and never makes bad mistakes when they count the most.

Moreover, Tanev is known for being a shot-blocker which is the kind of guy the Toronto Maple Leafs have always needed, especially during the playoffs.

In fact, Tanev has come as advertised this season and his +27 net rating his certainly a fantastic example of how this has been the case.

Moreover, he is on the verge of breaking the franchise's single-season blocked shot record. He just needs one more to do it which is very impressive and it is highly likely he does it tonight.

However, when asked about potentially breaking the record, he admitted that he had no clue about it. Furthermore, he simply does not care about it.

With the playoffs on the horizon, there are other things on Tanev's mind, and you have to be impressed with his dedication to his craft.

Tonight, the Maple Leafs take on the Columbus Blue Jackets and it should prove to be a fantastic game, especially with the Jackets having the Leafs' number over the course of this season.

This is the time for the Leafs to show that they can be the better team, and we believe they will do it, especially with how they have played as of late.

The playoffs are on the horizon and now is the time for the Leafs to slay the Dragons they have been unable to conquer in the regular season.
