The Toronto Maple Leafs have won five games in a row.
Six games ago, the Leafs lost to the LA Kings, which ended a different five-game win streak. For those counting – that’s 10 wins in 11 games.
It is the kind of thing I promised would happen after the Leafs got powerfully unlucky against the Habs in the playoffs then started off the season on a cooler.
And it obviously isn’t a realistic level for the team to play at – as good as they are, no team is literally good enough to win 10 of 11 games without getting a lot of luck.
