Alrighty.
Historical context - we have been in this situation.
Several times the Leafs have been pummeled in Game 1. (1993 vs. Detroit, 2000 vs. Ottawa, 2013 vs. Boston).
Many times the Leafs have looked like they were overwhelmed and out of place, causing us to wonder if things were just going to end up being worse.
Two of the three series - the Leafs won game 2.
(the other one, they kinda got pummeled again but they won the series anyway so alls well that ends well)
Right now we are cranky because the team looked like poop, Babcock didn't coach well, and Kadri is gone for three games. We don't know how things are going to turn out, everyone is gleefully rubbing their hands together counting us out, and things look bleak.
Let's not bend. Let's not break.
The Leafs have won games without their best player. Missing Kadri, playoff games or not, shouldn't phase this group. They've already been through worse.
People have counted out this team since day one two years ago. All this team has done has turn around and proved everyone wrong.
Everytime the Leafs have been embarrassed - the Leafs have turned around and embarrassed teams right back.
We need to remember it is always us against the world. We need to remember that this team always likes to take the road less travelled and make life interesting(ly stressful) for us. It's what is so frustratingly awesome about this team.
This team has Honour, Courage and Pride.
This team is going to shock the spit out of the TD Gardens.
This team is going to show Boston, that they are not going to be an easy out
This team is going to come back to Toronto with the series tied 1-1.
This team is gonna win, damnit..
Fortune Favours the Bold.
The Leafs are nothing if not Bold.
GO LEAFS GO!
