The Toronto Maple Leafs are sitting pretty atop the NHL standings, and as I write this, we are in the middle of the longest streak of prolonged success I can remember this franchise ever having.
The Toronto Maple Leafs won their division last year, and were in competition for the President’s Trophy until the last week of the season. The late season knee injury to Zach Hyman was all that stood between them and their probably first ever President’s Trophy.
Even with what happened in the playoffs (bad luck and injuries torpedoed a great year) this deserved more celebration that it received.
