It could be Freddie Anderson versus Mitch Marner for a lot of Leaf fans.

Like the goalie that couldn't get it done versus one of your star players that couldn't get it done.

And that would be the narrative that plays out for some fans for sure.

I just wonder if they're tired out.

First of all, playing against Carolina is not an easy task.

We've seen that.

They're the most relentless...

group there is in the NHL.

They just come at you, come at you, come at you in waves.

They're there.

They, they attack all the time, even on the PK.

I mean, they've had, they've been shorthanded 44 times or whatever, and they've allowed two power play goals or three power play goals.

Now, like it's,

It's shocking.

They've been that good and they're that relentless.

And, you know, it's a Montreal team that's had to now play 17 games in pretty quick fashion and intense, intense games against Tampa.

And, you know, they had two elimination games so far.

It's not just been easy sledding.

You're right.

They've been right there, at least on the scoreboard, but it hasn't felt that way, right?
