The Toronto Maple Leafs are the NHL’s best team.
Sure, the Toronto Maple Leafs are in 4th place overall, but if you put the standings in context, it’s pretty easy to see who the favorite to win the 2023 Stanley Cup is at the moment.
The Bruins, New Jersey and Las Vegas are predictably good, but the Leafs have only lost once in the last month, and are doing so as the NHL’s most injured team.
Tonight the Leafs will take on the Dallas Stars tonight, and I believe it will be the first time in NHL history that two players with 18 game point streaks (or better) will play each other.
