Toronto Maple leafs defense

The Toronto Maple Leafs were a good, rising young team a year ago and when they made the playoffs, the 2013 NHL season was set to be a success. When they pushed the Boston Bruins to Game 7 of the first round, even more so.

But sometimes your success can get turned against you, and when the Leafs blew a 4-1 lead in that seventh game, the last two goals in the final two minutes, and lost in overtime, Toronto turned from up-and-comer into a team in need of redemption.
