Expectations are always going to be high in Leafs Nation. But, in a season when expectations aren't quite met, it is vitally important to keep perspective. Perspective is the kind of weight that offers balance, and without it, expectations mean nothing. The latest episode of The Leaf, Cold Snap, looks at the long winter that was, and how the team not only weathered a tough season, but prepared for the future.
Regardless of whether you are a fan, a member of the media, a coach, or a player, there are many lenses through which to see the Leafs. After months of scrutiny and uncertainty, though, the focus now pulls back to the Big Picture.
Whether you are a fan who is fortunate enough to grow up playing the game at its highest levels, or one whose passion keeps you coming back to the team you love, hockey has to be a shared experience. Leafs Nation is connected to and from all corners of the world, through all sorts of shared experiences. Whether you are young or old, far or near, Leafs Nation has always been more than the sum of its parts.
