No. 1: Leafs win Division

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been in the NHL for 104 years now. As such, you’d think that winning the division wouldn’t be a big deal, right? Wrong!

This was only the sixth time in Leafs history that the team won their division. Yes, you read that right. What’s even crazier about that stat, is that this is only the second time since 1938 that the Leafs have won the division.

In 83 years, this team has only won the division two times. That’s so bizarre to me.

Anyway, that’s the reason why this moment has to be the biggest of the season. Winning the division is less common than winning the Stanley Cup for the Toronto Maple Leafs, so as fans, we need to cherish this moment and make it more special, than how it sounds.

Winning the division will now unlock home-ice advantage for the Leafs and should make their path to the Stanley Cup, much easier than year’s past. However, we’ll have to wait and see because in those previous five seasons that they won the division, they never won the Stanley Cup in the same season.

Here’s to hoping that Toronto doesn’t repeat history and can add “Winning the Stanley Cup” to the best moment of the 2020-21 season.
