I’ll likely get some heat for this, but I don’t care. I really hope for the Leafs here. Two reasons....

1. My late father grew up in Toronto and was a Leafs fan until he died, I wish he could have had another opportunity to see the Leafs win a cup (he was young when they won in ‘67)

2. As a hockey player and fan for my whole life, there is something really cool about playing for your home town team. For some reason, I think this may be the closer for Tavares. Even with the media frenzy in T.O., I think it may just happen and I think that’s pretty cool if it does.
