December couldn’t have gone much – any? – better for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Sheldon Keefe’s first full month as head coach was a smashing success, with few teams coming anywhere close to matching what the Toronto Maple Leafs accomplished.
The Maple Leafs won nine times in 13 games and finished with a .731 points percentage.
The Pittsburgh Penguins were the only team ahead of them in either category, while the Vegas Golden Knights joined Pittsburgh in the 20-point club (Toronto had 19).
November saw the Leafs make to switch to Sheldon Keefe, and he was the first star the last time we did this, with Andersen coming in at #2 and William Nylander at #3.
This month, there’s three completely different stars, which shows how deep of a team the Leafs have.
There was no shortage of consistently strong performers behind the team’s success, which makes isolating three more difficult than usual.
Let’s give it a go.
