I don't even have to look it up to predict that the Leafs haven't been top in the league since at least the 60s. It had to be Original Six years. That would indeed be a worthy accomplishment.
I think Keefe has the team dialed in to be on a mission. For my money, in particularly from Tavares. He just seems to have a more deliberate attitude.
They know that many fans will not give them the benefit of the doubt so it's on them to figure it out.
Enjoy the ride, but keep one eye on the prize. The consistency of players in and out of the lineup has been impressive. It feels more akin to a "playoff ready roster". I hope they can maintain this.
Dubas wisely didn't overpay to keep fan fave Hyman. He's found FAR more depth and completeness in the roster now though.
