HymanI think if u ask for MVP of the Leafs season right now, u have Matthews, Marner, Campbell as the candidates. Campbell has to start in the playoffs if healthy.
Imagine how badly we'd be freaking out right now if Tkachuk played his little flying knee drop stunt on Jack at this point in the season? It was bad enough when he was our lovable backup, but we would go berserk now if that happened to the board's heart throb.
I saw this picture recently, which perfectly illustrates what would happen in that scenario.
Lasorda -> Leaf fans
Sinatra -> Richard Clune called up for one game

At this point I'd say that Soupy is the most intriguing storyline I've seen in my 50+ years of following the Leafs. Not just him but the circumstances, where the team is at at this point in it's history, that he could be the saviour that we so badly need. Everything all together, what a story!

Just saying, we had that same situation 2 years ago with McElhinney and we pissed him away for Sparks.
Since that move:
McElhinney .907sv%
Sparks .901sv%
But Mac would have come in real handy in maybe have home ice advantage in the second series. Might have made the difference in Game 7.
