from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
There will be pressures and expectations at a level this franchise hasn’t known for half a century. Maybe ever considering the state of media and social media.
Can they be the Blackhawks or the Kings or the Penguins, winning early and on target with their star players? Can they be that model franchise?
Or will they have to play the long game, the way the Capitals managed: Washington lost in the years it was supposed to win and won in the year it was supposed to lose.
This is new here in Toronto. Brand new. The Maple Leafs are legitimate contenders. What they do with that, how they handle it, well, we’re about to find out.
