Just a few days on from the Toronto Maple Leafs crashing out of the Stanley Cup playoffs in spectacular fashion, and the alarm bells won’t stop ringing. Any fans that were inconsolable after the game have joined the legions baying for blood.
This is undeniably the most painful playoff exit in recent memory, possibly even in Toronto Maple Leafs history, due in large part to how this team dominated the North in the regular season.
