As sports fans, we always want our teams to be champions every season. It results in an addictive, euphoric, and terrorizing mix of emotions throughout the regular and postseason. That is the best way to describe how the Toronto Maple Leafs fought their way through the ’20-’21 season.
As Leafs fans, we are accustomed to dealing with disappointments year after year.
Somehow, this time it feels even worse. I mean worse than marching back from being down 3-1 in a series, giving up a three-goal lead in the third, and ultimately losing in overtime.
