I don’t think any true Leaf fan can be nothing but passionate about the talented team we have waited so long to enjoy. However we have seen teams like the big bad bruins crush us when it counts. We fear that a team that does nothing when a Johnsson or a Dermott or a Lindholm is assaulted with no payback, we fear that our team is fair game for the physicality of the playoffs. We fear that a Watson or Reeves or such will take a punishing run at Anderson and take him out, because theirs no consequence (what was the name of that Pittsburgh goon who did exactly that a couple of years ago when it was season end and we had to win or tie our last game to make the playoffs? Shapiro or something, we just signed him in the minors).Yes, let's change the approach that has the leafs second in the league so we can bring back old favorites like Polak and Martin, who worked so well here
We fear that our talented core of early 20’s “boys” will play timid and we will still not even have one successful series outcome.
