Well Leafs fans, it's Groundhog Day, again. The Leafs fought back through overwhelming odds and some of the worst injury luck I've ever seen just to lose it all in Game 7 overtime. It's just so typical of the Core 4 era Leafs. Losing to Brad Marchand and the Bruins is about as painful as can be for Leafs fans, and Marchand made sure to add some salt to the wound on the way out.
As the Bruins celebrated yet another Game 7 win over the Leafs. Marchand gave an interview. When asked how the Bruins managed to win over the resurgent Leafs once again. Marchand's first words sure sounded like a jab at Leafs fans.
"Just belief", or, more likely, "just beleaf". Marchand using a well known term coined by Leafs fans is just a little too on the nose to be an accident. Once again, the rat has gotten one over on us. As much as I hate it, it's at least a relief that the team will finally undergo some restructuring this summer, both on the ice and in the front office. I'm exctited to see what the next generation of this team looks like.
