Toronto has a much different team this year compared to previous playoff series against Tampa Bay. The Leafs will win in six
It has been a little more than four years since I moved to Ontario from Alberta to cover the Maple Leafs for The Globe and Mail. In Toronto there is no bigger sports beat. The players, especially the stars, are treated by fans as bigger than life. There is never a shortage of material – on or off the ice. Personal issues, a pandemic, a car jacking – you see it all.
I was in The Globe’s office in downtown Toronto on March 12, 2020 when the coronavirus shut down sports and everything else. Like many, I figured things would be tickety boo in a matter of weeks. It was nearly five months before the NHL playoffs would be staged in bubbles.qualifying series against the Blue Jackets virtually. The following year, when Toronto bumbled its way to a humiliating first-round loss to the Canadiens, I did the same.
So what do I think about the Maple Leafs this year with their Stanley Cup proceedings set to begin on Tuesday? Pay no attention to Cathal Kelly: I can hardly believe I am saying this, but I think they will win at least one round this year. Possibly another depending on what happens in the other first-round series.
