The Leafs look good, no question, (being up 2-0 would not be undeserved) and while they are unlikely to triumph,  it would be something to see them win this series....

One thing that occurs to me, is the natural ability to show leadership...I have not seen him play much, but from what I have, Mcdavid in Edmonton certainly appear to posses it. It is still very early, in their careers, but you see how far above McDavid is from Mathews, (and in some ways, age-adjusted, Ovechkin.)

If you look at the goal McDavid scored the other day, you could see he can carry a team..much like Orr, time and the gravity on the ice just seems to bend around him when he is flying. It will be a long time (if ever) some like Eichel, Laine, and Matthews (who certainly can deliver "the numbers"),  deliver it when most needed...after all they are still "kids".....perhaps the wrong thread, but I just noticed how it was missing (relatively speaking)...
