As a result of we all know the Leafs had actually their greatest playoff end in 23 years, as a result of the way in which it went towards Florida, it caused some change.

Elliotte Friedman: “You recognize what, like Gordie, it’s so humorous now, like every time, like Carolina falls down 3-1, or Dallas falls down 3-1, I get individuals, I get at Leafs followers saying, nicely, they’re gonna have to tear it down now. They’re gonna have to fireside everybody. Leafs followers are salty proper now. Gordo, I’ll inform you that a lot. I positively suppose Gordo, that one of many issues that’s going to occur in Carolina and perhaps even Dallas is, do now we have sufficient of the whole lot?
Carolina is a really straight-line workforce. They play exhausting, however they’re not very large. And clearly, I feel too, with the stuff that occurred in Recreation 3 with (Sebastian) Aho and I feel that’s why (Rod) Brind’Amour was so mad. You must get into your mentality that if you happen to battle one in every of us, you battle all of us. Like, Florida may be very very similar to that. Tampa may be very very similar to that. They usually’re two of the perfect groups of this decade. Vegas is quite a bit like that.
I feel in Carolina, in the event that they don’t come again they usually get closed out, I may see them saying, Sure, now we have to change and open what we search for. I feel you at all times must be like that. I keep in mind Glen Sather as soon as interviewing him, saying, even if you happen to win the Stanley Cup, it is best to at all times change a few individuals so that you simply look somewhat completely different and it offers you a brand new problem. And I feel if you happen to lose, that must be doubly the case.
