At this point, it's not really debatable: the leafs are the best team in Canada.
So, who is the second best team? Is it Montreal, or is it Winnipeg?
Both teams are good right now. They each have their own strengths:
Winnipeg has better goaltending
Mtl has a better defence
Winnipeg has better star power
Mtl has better depth
Which is the better team?
I don't know at this point. I want to say Winnipeg, because they are my second favourite team, but I don't know if that's true. I'd have to say so far this season Mtl>Winnipeg. But they've essentually played the whole season without Laine/PLD, so I think in the end Winnipeg will be better. Please let me know which one is better, or if you think Calgary or Edmonton is actually Canada's second best team, or if you think Toronto isn't Canada's best team.

Why don’t we just wait for 4 days until they’ve played each other twice, and then make our judgement?

Sure. We haven't really seen PLD in a jets jersey yet so ya, we kind of have to wait until they play each other.

Can’t tell they haven’t played each other but in recent games Winnipeg has looked better. On paper they look about equal too

Winnipeg is the 2nd best team.

Winnipeg is the second best team, that much is clear now. But is Edmonton 3rd? I still would disagree. Montreal is going to rebound, I'm nearly sure of that.

I will concede that WPG is #2, but EDM is the hottest team in the league and they're winning with defense - something I never thought we'd see - and solid goaltending. MTL's defense has been inconsistent all season and I have serious concerns about Price. I still believe he's capable of elite play, but he's gonna need to find his game at some point for the Habs to be a serious contender.

Ya, I think at this point it's a toss up between Montreal and Edmonton for number 3. Funny how that is. At the beginning of the season, people thought the habs were better than the leafs.

I thought Leafs 1, Habs 2, Flames 3, Edmonton/Winnipeg 4-5 so I was wrong on Calgary but we’ll have to wait and see for Montreal

I don't think tonight's game is gonna change many minds. MTL was dominant for most of the game, but WPG found a way to grind out a big W. Still too close to call, imo.

I’d say too close to call, the first Winnipeg-Habs game, Montreal did well in the first and then crumbled a bit but first game with new coach and then we did really well against the jets in our second game.

I originally thought
Leafs
Flames
Oilers
Habs
Jets
Canucks
Senators

The only thing I've gotten wrong so far is the flames, and the jets. More than happy to be wrong about the jets, they are my second favourite team.
