The Toronto Maple Leafs are a sneakily good regular season team.
I say this because in the chaos of the last two hockey seasons, both of which were cut short, and both of which saw them lose in the playoffs against noticeably inferior teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs were an excellent regular season team.
This is fact is further obscured by the team’s record under Mike Babcock two seasons ago before Keefe took over, and by the Leafs being in the North division, which was perceived as being much weaker than it was in reality.
