I’ve come around to the opinion that this is not their year. I just think their core players are too young and haven’t quite learned how to win. Getting out of the division might be tough to. The first two rounds will be murderous in the Atlantic Division.

Kind of interesting we’re all giving up on the Leafs already. If they go out in the first round, but play well in each game, I don’t think you can ask much more. Last year, they were out of their element, dears in the headlights. This year they at least have to show they know what playoff hockey is all about.
