This didn’t look the least bit likely only three weeks ago.
It was then, on Dec. 22, that the Toronto Maple Leafs arrived home from Dallas, where they had dropped their third game in a row, and fired Marc Savard.
“It’s not lost on us where the team’s at,” GM Brad Treliving said that week.
Since then, it’s been only good times. The Leafs have picked up points in nine straight games, winning seven times (7-0-2), including a 5-0 trouncing of the lowly Vancouver Canucks over the weekend.
Is this team for real, though? We’re about to find out, as the schedule is set to get very difficult.
