This series is making me realize how much my outlook on this team has changed.
In 2018 and 2019, I remember feeling viscerally angry and inconsolable after every loss. I ****ing hated Debrusk, Marchand, Chara, etc with every fibre of my being and felt like the Leafs deserved to win. I loved our team with all my heart and hated theirs, and couldn't bare to see us lose.
This series, I hardly even feel upset with how it's gone. And I don't feel an ounce of ill will toward any of the Bruins players. If anything, I just respect and admire the way they play.
The entirety of my dislike is directed squarely at our players - why bother cheering for a team that clearly doesn't care enough to get it done, time and time again? Honestly, I feel like it's probably healthier this way.
