The Toronto Maple Leafs have impressed during the season’s start.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been really good during their first four games, truly. Despite the disappointing 2-1-1 record, it shouldn’t worry anyone, it could have easily been a 4-0-0 record.

The Montreal Canadiens were lucky they faced off a gassed team coming in the second act of a back-to-back series that dropped the ball in the third period. Otherwise, they merely a supporting cast in a further masterclass by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

They continued their strong play against St. Louis, but the new star goaltender of the league singlehandedly slowed down the Toronto train from winning the game.

From all this optimism surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs play, it ignited the discussion among the Editor In Leaf writing staff if the Toronto Maple Leafs could win it all this year. That’s why for this weeks roundtable the writing staff discuss their Stanley Cup predictions.

Spoiler alert! James’s pick is a safe bet since he predicted last season’s Stanley Cup champions: the St. Louis Blues correctly early in the season.
