FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Sheldon Keefe thought this script was a thing of the past.The Toronto Maple Leafs overcame a maddening hurdle and confounding mental block when they topped the Tampa Bay Lightning in the opening round of the playoffs for their first series victory in nearly two decades.After a string of frustrating post-season failures, the team's high-paid stars finally excelled in key moments, the goaltending held up, and the Original Six franchise - at long last - had some bounces go its way.
