An enigma is a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand. A perfect description of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
It has been that way for years, although this season the Toronto Maple Leafs are taking their enigmatic persona to a different level. They can’t decide what kind of team they want to be.
One doesn’t have to look far for examples of their mystifying play. The Leafs are capable of an offensive explosion to steal a victory or a head-scratching mistake that leads to a defeat.
The individual performance of many players has followed the same script as the season hits the quarter-pole.
