Just as Shanahan and Dubas keep doubling down the #Leafs are on the correct track — and insist that all these bad playoff experiences will add up to a good one — the Canadiens have only underlined the ridiculousness of this argument.

Montreal is on the verge of winning a 3rd playoff round this year. It won a round last year. In 4 seasons before that, they made playoffs once. According to Toronto’s front office, Montreal hasn’t lost nearly enough to be winning as much as they are ... thestar.com/sports/hockey/… 
... Which only makes a further farce of the season-ending press conference performance of Shanahan and Dubas, who tried to minimize their team’s latest faceplant by insisting that the ultimate road to success needs to be paved with repeated failure.

Montreal's success has shone a light on a potential crack in the foundation of the Leafs’ ongoing experiment. While Shanahan and Dubas commit to the core-four philosophy, Montreal’s top-scoring forward in these playoffs is Tyler Toffoli, who earns $4.25M. thestar.com/sports/hockey/…
Here’s what’s for sure, writes @dfeschuk: Every opening-round failure is an irreplaceable opportunity lost. Every season that’s squandered is a season gone for good. Every epic Maple Leaf failure is a whiff for a GM who should only gets so many swings. thestar.com/sports/hockey/…
Montreal’s success — one win away from the Stanley Cup final — only underlines the egregiousness of Toronto’s perennial failure.
