You might be asking how I can say this after the Toronto Maple Leafs recent run of games, but really, what’s a small cold streak in the middle of the season?
The Leafs entered the season as Cup Favorites and there is no reason to change that just because they had some bad luck.
They might be well behind the Lightning in the standings, but results are for suckers and you just need to dig a bit deeper to get the full picture.
Lucky you don’t have to ’cause I got you.
Toronto Maple Leafs: Cup Favorites
I see no reason to rank any team ahead of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
