I still just don't see this team as being very competitive in the playoffs. They still lack so much on the backend. They're obviously one of the elite offensive teams in the league, but you can't outscore your way to the Cup. Every single year we learn how difficult and different the playoffs are from the regular season.
Tampa has had the same problems. You're not gonna win playoff games 6-5. And this Leafs team, as presently constructed, will not win deep into the playoffs. They'll never win the big 1-0 game or 2-1 in 2OT game. They're too soft, undisciplined, and I know I'll get heat for saying this: poorly coached by Mike Babcock.
