The Toronto Maple Leafs record is an impressive 25-10-2, which means they are winning two games for ever game they lose – it’s impressive.
Even more impressive is that Matthews missed 15 of those games, and William Nylander has only two points and didn’t start playing until a week into December.
I’m going to state this as bluntly as possible: The Toronto Maple Leafs are the best team in the NHL. And, in the parlance of my teenage son: “It’s not even close.”
It isn’t Close
The Toronto Maple Leafs are one fluke loss against the Lightning away from being two points out of first place.
