As a Leaf fan it really is a shame because for the longest time the Leafs had really bad goaltending. Now they have two good goalies but can't play in front of them.
Most fans hate Carlyle and think he is the main problem. His lineup choices are strange. He dresses two fighters who can't do anything and then barely even plays them. He puts certain players on tight leashes (Kadri) and others can do no wrong (Fraser, Orr). If they can get a little healthier though and tighten up they could be decent. They have great speed and scoring ability.
Anyways, yes, the Leafs are lucky to be where they are right now.

Careful with waiting for your team to play a complete 60 minutes, as the other teams are trying to as well. Twenty nine other fan bases are asking for a full 60 minutes, but inconsistency is is consistent in every teams' games.
Agreed with the scoring though as they seem to score at will. I don't think their shooting percentage is a fluke, but the chances for vs against seem way too stacked against to mean anything but failure over 82 games IMO.
Do the Leafs have a more positive future? Is there hope in the farm? If not, yikes that could be bad
