The story of the season so far has to be the rising success of the Toronto North Stars. I don't think there's anyone who can say that they saw this coming but it's fantastic to see a new face at the top of the league, especially a team where young stars demanded out not too long ago on different occasions. Now the team has some new youth and look like they'll be a force in the league for the rest of the season and beyond so I can't see them falling from their record so far with only 5 losses. It's hard to predict if the Stars success will carry through to the post-season as well but I am loving the fact that Toronto is steam-rolling most of the competition and probably making some people upset to have quit on them so soon. I'm rooting for them as reasonably as possible from an opposing team but you love to see the change in the powerhouse teams.
