The Toronto Maple Leafs are off to a start that only their fans could've dreamed up, with a 5-1-0 record, and a 4.83 goals-per-game average. So we're looking ahead, and answering the big questions:
Will the Maple Leafs win the East?
Greg Wyshynski, senior NHL writer: It's not just that the Toronto Maple Leafs have a chance to win the East, they have an opportunity to win the Stanley Cup ... provided they can overcome their primary flaw, which is their defense corps. One way to overcome it would be to make it better, but the kind of top-pairing defenseman that's become synonymous with winning NHL championships (Drew Doughty, Duncan Keith, Zdeno Chara, John Carlson) isn't easy to come by.
