If you are reading this, then the Toronto Maple Leafs blew a 3-1 series lead to their rival Canadian team… the Montreal Canadiens. The Maple Leafs were by far the better team throughout the series, but somehow the Canadiens got it done. Most of their success comes down to the lack of success of the Maple Leafs’ top players. Of course, John Tavares was hurt on a scary play, so he doesn’t count.
