The Toronto Maple Leafs have not been perfect since the trade deadline, but they have been close to perfect.
Some fans are quick to point out the losses to Montreal and Buffalo. Others point out the overtime loss to Florida, where the Toronto Maple Leafs blew a 5-1 lead.
It is no secret that both the Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens are near the bottom of the NHL standings. That doesn’t mean that a game against them will be an automatic win. Any team can win on any given night. It is why they play the games.
