Despite a record setting regular season the Leafs once again fell short in the playoffs losing to the two time Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round.
As is always the case in Toronto, it's "Maybe Next Season".
That said, they do feature the Hart, Pearson and Richard trophy winning franchise cornerstone of Auston Matthews, as well as his set up man Mitch Marner. The defense is much improved and if newly acquired, 2 time Cup Champion goaltender, Matt Murray can regain his form, perhaps this is the year they finally get over the hump.
