This one is going to be short, for obvious reasons.
After the Leafs’ first round loss to Montreal, I said something for the first time. I didn’t care about the regular season at all, because even if they did have a great season I couldn’t trust they wouldn’t collapse in embarrassing fashion again. I repeated it throughout the season. I thought it when the Leafs struggled out of the gate, when they went on that crazy streak and Campbell looked like a Vezina candidate. I said it when they blew big leads, when they came back to win from huge deficits.
