Pretty funny how this series was billed as our stars vs Montreal's elite 4 line depth and Built Tonka Tough® platstyle and 4 games in Matthews and Marner have one goal combined and it's our middle six that are kicking their teeth in.
Knocking on wood but the "Montreal has better depth" argument was always BS. Having a bunch of guys that could play on a good teams 2nd or 3rd line but no true first liners was always a recipe for disaster and just sounded like an excuse for the Habs' lack of elite talent. Their D is getting exposed too. "Big and tough" but can't move the puck for shit and the most that toughness has done is result in Matthews chuckling.
I'll never understand why the Leafs depth was just ignored compared to Montreal. I guess the media narrative has to be something so that's what they did. Like how Caufield has been bigged up all series, need something positive to say for Montreal.
