The Toronto Maple Leafs have a great record when you consider how they have played for most of the season.
The Toronto Maple Leafs struggles this season are not hard to pinpoint. They have blown leads, made huge comebacks (which are good, but improbable, so not indicative of future success) and have failed to play a full 60 minutes in pretty much every game of the season.
The reason for these struggles is also pretty obvious: An already horrible blue-line ravaged by injury, an insistence on playing the worst player in the NHL regularly, and having to incompatible one-dimensional players in their bottom six who must be played regularly due to their high salaries.
