By recently healed we of course mean the Vegas Golden Knights who absolutely smoked the Calgary Flames on Sunday to snap a five-game losing streak, while the Maple Leafs (9-9-4) are the walking wounded.
Toronto haven’t won a game since they beat the Knights in Overtime on Nov, 7, dropping five straight including a 6-1 hammering at the hands of the Pittsburgh Penguins and going 0-4-1 in that span.
And, not surprisingly given the hotbed that is the Toronto media, Leafs Head Coach Mike Babcock is under severe pressure and is facing a plethora of calls for his job.
