Or at least that’s how it seems. Technically, the Toronto Maple Leafs played last Sunday and haven’t even been off for a week, but somehow it seemed like so much longer.
Is it because they are the best team in the NHL? Is it because they are a huge favorite to win the Stanley Cup?
Is it because since expansion beyond six teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs have never even won a President’s Trophy, appeared in a Stanley Cup Final, had a Norris, Hart or Vezina winner, or had a player lead the league in scoring, but all those things might happen this year?
