Now, I know what you’re thinking, “the way the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing is no where near the level required to win a Stanley Cup.”
While you’re probably correct, there’s a little history behind why I think they could pull it off.
Let’s go back to January — the St. Louis Blues were dead last and there was no chance that the team with 15 wins and 18 losses could make their way back up the standings.
However, it happened. If you remember clear enough, the Blues went on to be the 2019 Stanley Cup champions.
