NYI has had two very easy paths this year and last year, but as soon as they face a true contender, they fold.
They were swept by Boston, now they will be swept by Tampa Bay.
It would have been really interesting to see the narratives if the Leafs had faced Pittsburgh last year or the Panthers this year. Those are huge downgrades from Boston and Columbus, although we should have been able to overcome Columbus.
Seriously? NYI has won 3 series so far, 2 of them against very good teams who finished 3rd and 4th in the East. One of them was scorching hot going in and the other was icing largely the same roster that won the cup not long ago. We couldn't even beat the team that finished tied with us for 6th that we were favoured to beat.
Did you see the game last night? Is your take that NYI folded?
