The Toronto Maple Leafs are a work in progress with decent results, but as the team closes in on the quarter pole of the 2023-24 82-game schedule, this does not look like a club that will make a meaningful playoff run.
The Toronto Maple Leafs seem to emulate the famous quote by professional golf pioneer Walter Hagen, the first American-born player to win The Open Championship. They make the ‘hard ones look easy and the easy ones look hard’.
Head coach Sheldon Keefe hopes that the current incarnation of the Leafs do not end up on the links until late July next year.
