Last season, the expectations for how the Toronto Maple Leafs would do were tempered and rightly so because it would’ve been quite strange predicting a playoff berth.
However, entering this season, expectations were much, much higher, but at the same time, still slightly tempered and remember I wrote about how they needed to be, prior to the season start.
An Edmonton Oilers versus the Leafs final wasn’t going to happen, you’d have to be pretty, well, you know what to think it was going to happen this season.
I mean, just look at where the Oilers are right now and where your Leafs are.
