In my opinion, all pressure squarely on the Leafs, tons of money tied up in 4/5 high end talent who haven`t gone beyond the 2nd round in decades.
B`s lost a first ballot HOF`er and what I suspect will be another HOF`er in DK, nobody could have seen 109 pts, show me another team who could have lost their top two C and do what this team has done
I think this season better prepared the B`s for playoff hockey, last year was too easy, had literally zero obstacles outside the early season surgery recovery from a few players and I think never really got battle tested until the playoffs arrived. I had this team as battling for a wild card spot at the beginning of the year.
I still think they simply aren`t gritty enough to go deep but think they will break Leafs fans hearts again this year
My biggest concern is special teams
Maybe if Julien and Cassidy are on the election committee.
