The Stanley Cup Playoffs start tomorrow and like kids waiting for Christmas morning, we cannot wait. Watching the kids lead the Leafs into the playoffs last year was a bit of a surprise. That surprise reminded me the joy in seeing Toronto Maple Leafs playoff hockey again. It also brought back something that the media would never let us forget– The collapse in Boston four years earlier.
It’s very fitting that as the Leafs are now a legitimately good team (and arguably a contender) that they will be back in Boston tomorrow night. As much as I want the Buds to win the cup, they have to get past the the first round.
