I always feel sorry for the fans no matter what because I know the feeling when your team loses or crashes out. I don’t feel sorry for the team itself though. Referees could’ve done better and Florida is a dirty team, but this is how things go the deeper and deeper into the playoffs you get. Leafs do this to themselves as far as I can see. They’ve run the same core team back almost ten times now and have barely made a dent because Nylander is the only one that doesn’t turn into a pumpkin every year when the going gets tough

Flashback to 2019 with Don Cherry ranting about “soft Swede”.
The same Don Cherry who said we should’ve drafted Nick Ritchie instead of Willy??
I agree. It’s like you think you’re close but also crazy that you keep trying with the same ingredients and expecting a different product.
