Every time I've watched the Maple Leafs this year, it feels like I'm back in 2007-08. Because this young Toronto team reminds me of the Hawks team in the first season of the Toews/Kane era. The Leafs are loaded with young talent in Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner and William Nylander (the son of old friend Michael). At times they play at a frenetic pace that other teams can't match and you wonder how they ever lose. But they've also been prone to the growing pains of learning to handle the NHL level -- especially when they get early leads. Tonight's game probably feels like a measuring stick for this up-and-coming team, so the Hawks should be ready for an onslaught. Likely a packed house and a raucous atmosphere at the ACC tonight, too.
LET'S GO HAWKS!!
