Devils or Leafs, who was the better team this season?

[AndreRoy]

Easily the Devils.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Devils has a great start for 2 months, then were extremely average. Leafs were definitely the better team throughout the year.

 

[Regal]

both teams are heavy offense and light on defense and goaltending. both teams are very soft, especially in the top 6. its like a younger carbon copy. i will agree that jersey did much better with their contracts.

what year was hamilton a norris candidate?

I think he’s overrated as he can make mistakes when pressured but Hamilton likely finished somewhere in the 6-8 or so range for Norris voting.

It’s the Leafs but American fans on here are having a field day on these polls against Canada

Knock it off, immediately.

Toronto had higher expectations and a superior team on paper.

Devils surpassed expectations, Leafs once again failed to meet them.

At the end of the day both suffered the same fate, but New Jersey had the better year as a whole all things considered.

Weird poll

Feel it's an easy answer for the Devils.

They took a huge step in both regular season and playoffs where Toronto continue to be a top 3 Atlantic team, won a series and got eliminated in 5.

NJ's core is way younger and did something TOR couldn't for 6 straight years.

Feels like a dunk on TOR type thread but all for it.

It’s a conspiracy!!!

Anyhoo, I think it’s the Devils. A younger core that took a huge step this year. The Leafs core has had lots of chances but just can’t put it together.
