The Toronto Maple Leafs will host the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at the Air Canada Centre.
The Carolina Hurricanes are possibly the NHL’s best team and are in direct competition with the Colorado Avalanche, Boston Bruins, Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs for that title.
Sure, the Bruins are the luckiest team, but Carolina out-performs their much lower save and shooting percentages, making a good case that they are the best team.
The Toronto Maple Leafs – who, last time I checked – were the team most affected by injuries this season, also out-perform their percentages and would probably be quite a bit higher in the standings if they hadn’t had to play four different goalies, and play all.
