Can the Toronto Maple Leafs Feast on the NHL East?

Well it may not have been a pretty third-period but the Toronto Maple Leafs held on for a 3-1 win Saturday night against the New York Islanders and a home crowd that delivers more boos than an LCBO transit truck.

As bad as the game’s third-period possession numbers look for the Toronto Maple Leafs; however, the team did a solid job of limiting quality chances and scoring attempts and were able to come out with a valuable, hard-earned road win, buoyed by a dominant second-period that really showed how strong this Leafs team can be (how good does that third-line look??!).

The Leafs have 53 points and sit at an impressive 25-10-3. They are top-ten overall in just about every statistical category…
