In an interview with Russian outlet Sport24, Mikhail Sergachev didn't hold back his thoughts on the Leafs or their fans.
He went on to say that Tampa statistically outplayed the Leafs and should have won, but recognized that the same was true for the opposite last year.
«I don't want to give the Maple Leafs any credit for the win, they don't deserve it. They won a single series that they deserved to lose. I don't see any reason for joy amongst the fans or team.»
