Auston Matthews believes Maple Leafs' playoff pain will pay off

Auston Matthews believes Toronto's recent playoff failures will pay off. The Maple Leafs lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning in seven games last spring. They haven't won the Stanley Cup since 1967. The team is aiming to get past the opening round for the first time since 2004. Morgan Rielly believes the series against Tampa doesn't help. He also points to how the narrative in the aftermath of the game played out. It doesn’t make the loss any better. "It doesn's really give you any more pride or anything in relation to emotional state of mind," he says.
