Ryan O'Reilly drops the quote of the year when asked about his upcoming playoff run with the Leafs

Leafs Nation was abuzz when the GM Kyle Dubas pulled the trigger on a deal to bring in Ryan O'Reilly and Noel Acciari from the St. Louis Blues back in February and while an injury to his finger took him out of commission for a month, he's back and so is that buzz.

O'Reilly produced 11 points in his 13 games as a Leaf and is prepping for another long playoff run this year. There's a lot to love about his game and just his attitude in general, but the latest quote he dropped might be quote of the year - at least among those in Leafs Nation.

There's a lot of pressure on O'Reilly and the Leafs to go on a run this year, but for a player like O'Reilly, that pressure only fuels him. He lives for the challenge that the playoffs provide. While most players begin preparing for the playoffs on the home stretch, it's evident that O'Reilly starts preparing for the playoffs at the start of every season. Anyone who doesn't think this guy is going to be a difference-maker for this Leafs team is about to find out.
