You never know with the Leafs. Last season, everyone kept saying if they didn't make noise in the playoffs, heads were going to roll and big changes were going to be made. Yet they beat a broken-down Lightning team before getting curb-stomped by the Panthers, and that was enough to make people say "Progress!" and essentially keep the status quo.
This year, everyone wrote them off after Game 5. Even if they lose tonight, do people now argue that they forced a Game 7, and Nylander stepped up, and Matthew tried to play through whatever injury he has, so "Progress!"
