The Toronto Maple Leafs are red hot – but after being hurt so many times, should we believe it?
A few years back I was fortunate enough to strike up a conversation with former Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer and fan favourite Tie Domi. I asked him what the core issue was with the Leafs and their recent playoff futility. Domi thought for a moment and then said:
“Look at the Islanders. They got Komarov and Martin; see how well they’re doing now?”
I smiled and agreed with him (I may have a number of inches on the guy but he could still knock me out without a moment’s hesitance) and the brief interaction was over.
