Welcome back to another episode of Back to Excited. Today, we discuss:

- \[2:42\] Fulemin rants about how people react to ‘playoff injuries’
- \[14:53\] Our trust in Kyle Dubas
- \[31:23\] The Leafs are very young and very good
- \[36:43\] We defend Mike Babcock against some of the criticism he has received
- \[51:55\] William Nylander ripping up the World Championships (he got another assist as I wrote this)
- \[57:32\] Rasmus Sandin blowing away our expectations
- \[1:02:50\] Mitch Marner is going to get overpaid, but he’s also an amazing player that is a joy to watch./

As always, you can find us on iTunes and Soundcloud. Let us know what you’re optimistic about regarding the Leafs, and of any topics you’d like us to cover in the offseason.
