I think we'll see it in the next couple of years, maybe even better next season.Zee said:This YouTube guy is a bit strange -- he has an NHL jersey of every single team, but he's a Vancouver and Boston fan. He has praises for the Leafs and thinks we'll win the Cup in the next few seasons:

Interesting to see an outsider's perspective, I think he makes a few good points. Expectations were raised because of last year's unexpected playoff team. Matthews in only his 2nd season is comparable to other teams with young stars like the Pens and Hawks who didn't win until years 3 or 4 at the quickest.
I think people tend to forget how young we really are here. They said last game that Bergeron and Marchand have been playing together for 6 years. At the end of the day, it's all valued experience for the kids. Having said all that, we're not done yet.
I just say he's strange because in another video he actually ranks all the NHL teams in his order of preference. He has Canucks #1 (he's in Vancouver) and Boston #2. For the record, he has the Leafs at #13 and said they would be in his top 5 if not for Kadri whom he despises cause of the greasy play.
Who the hell cheers for other teams? I mean I have the Leafs, and then I don't care. There are other teams that I enjoy when they lose, like Habs and Sens, but other than that I don't care outside of watching the Leafs win.
