The Toronto Maple Leafs can enter the Christmas Break fully satisfied.
Not every team gets to win the Stanley Cup, and the Toronto Maple Leafs have had some horrible luck getting out of the first round.
That lack of playoff success not withstanding, this version of the team has become an absolute force. They are the NHL’s best team and there are reasons to think they will only get better as they get healthier, and Auston Matthews gets hot.
Yesterday afternoon they took on the Philadelphia Flyers and easily beat them for their second win in a row.
