Brad Marchand gives the Toronto Maple Leafs some praise in a surprising comment

Brad Marchand on the Leafs this morning: "It's a matter of time until they make a really good push and go deep. They're just too talented.

You have to respect it, but they have definitely gotten better over the last number of years. They brought some D in that are much more defensively responsible, harder to play against, a little more physical and a little bigger. They are definitely improving, they are legit contenders this year.
