In the wake of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ stunning come-from-behind victory in game 4 of their playoff series with the Tampa Bay Lightning, many Leafs fans are giddy with joy, confidently proclaiming the series “over”. Let’s dial that back a bit, big shooters.
I have recently written that this year’s Toronto Maple Leafs are different from previous versions (grittier, more experienced, not afraid, etc), and I fully believe that. I’m confident in their ability to close out this series and finally journey to the promised land of round two.
BUT…..anything can happen in sports.
I got a personal reminder of that while watching “the big comeback” on Monday.
