The NHL reportedly plans to have an independent doctor assess the health of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Joffrey Lupul. Lupul will undergo an independent exam to determine if he is healthy enough to play this season, according to multiple reports on Thursday. Leafs general manager Lou Lamoriello said last week that the 33-year-old forward failed his team medical on the opening day of training camp for the second season in a row. But Lupul caused a buzz on Sunday when he posted a picture on his Instagram account of what appears to be him snowboarding, with a comment saying: “Haha failed physical? They cheat, everyone lets them.”Read more: Lupul gets physical with Maple Leafs on social media
