Team: 2020-21 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: May 31, 2021

Published: May 31, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

This is the night where they either take the next step or fail to deliver a series win once again.

I realize they don't have Tavares or Muzzin.
I realize they're going up against playoff Carey Price.
I don't care.

This is a team with one of the best forward groups in the world, even without John Tavares.
Auston Matthews led the league in goals this season, and they have two elite wingers in Marner and Nylander. Plus a ton of forward depth.

This is a fanbase that is truly starved of success. I know they don't like hearing it, but they haven't won a playoff series since 2004.
2004. I was 2 years old.

I think back to when my Lightning got swept and how the media (specifically Tim & Sid) RIGHTFULLY came after Stamkos/Kucherov/Hedman/Vasilevskiy/etc. for not showing up.
If you thought Tampa Bay took a lot after 2019, imagine what the Toronto media will do to the Leafs in 2021.
A 3-1 series lead, gone.

I'm cheering for the Leafs tonight. I want to see them take that next step as a team. It's time.

Yeah, I get what you mean.. idk I just feel sympathetic for them. After how the Lightning failed in 2015.. 2016.. 2017.. 2018.. 2019..
They've suffered enough

Man your young😅(I'm the same age lol) also if Matthews and Marner do something this game they officially chocked this round and the blame goes on them. Nylander has done great so far.

Nylander has been the best Leaf skater in my opinion so far this series. He's done more than enough. As a Sabres fan from Niagara, that married a French Canadian, go Habs baby let the whole GTA burn!

Man if Leafs lose tonight they seriously need to check their roster again. It's starting to look like Edmonton on steroids.

I'm a big supporter of chaos, especially being in the GTA and all of my friends are leaf fans

Don't think Dubas get's the can for this. He actually built a pretty good and competitive team. MB should get the boot in Montreal for failing to put a team in front of the best goaltender in the league for 9 years.

very true. leaf fans are dismissing any marner trades but i think he could bring in something good that could help them win now. just an idea obviously and he's a great player, hes taking a lot of heat while matthews seems to be getting a pass
