The Toronto Maple Leafs are technically a hockey team. They play the sport of hockey in the National Hockey League and play a full 82 games during the regular season, and sometimes even get into the playoffs. But, on Thursday night against the Florida Panthers they did not look like a team that was driving towards a win.
Sure, we can dwell on the Leafs' 5-1 loss to the defending Stanley Cup champions and how their playoff odds are at an extreme low, dropping to just 2.6% on MoneyPuck, thanks to that brutal defeat. But that's more analysis than we will really do in this brief post.
