Not so sure that they will collapse per say, of course they will have a slumps but this team is very different mentally than the last few yrs.
thats true but the Leafs have been a decent road team, they are 5-2-3
thing is the Leafs normal isn't much below their play of lateNo this is a typical leafs hot streak, they will normalize again soon enough
Yeah but 17 of their next 22 games on the road after their next 2 at home is a very tough stretch for any team. Back to back road games and 3 games in 4 nights on the road plus adding in the travel will eventually take it's toll. It's gonna be a tough stretch for the Leafs coming up so we'll see how they handle it.

The question is : "When will the Leafs have their seasonal epic collapse ? In the regular season or in the first round ?"
Nope.
Even if Boston isn't better (and that's an if), Tampa Bay, Detroit and Montreal all are.
thing is the Leafs normal isn't much below their play of late
if they go .500 on the next 17 road games they should be in the top 3
Doubt it. Even though their possession is better, it's still bottom 5 with top-5 PDO, not a recipe for long-term success
Don't worry, the traditional collapse at the end of the year is still coming. The Leafs never fail to do that, last season they were convincingly on a playoff position at the trade deadline but then they went ahead and collapsed and missed the playoffs.
What makes Montreal better than Toronto? The Leafs are outscoring them by a wide margin and they have only let up 3 more goals with two games in hand.
How many times can you name that they have collapsed at the end of the season?

Better defense and goaltending.
