The Toronto Maple Leafs don’t particularly care who’s the favourite and who’s the underdog as they enter Wednesday’s Game 4 against the Washington Capitals. “As far as that underdog-favourite thing out there, it’s not entered this dressing room,” Leafs center Nazem Kadri said. We just believed we had a shot.”Should Toronto win Wednesday’s game (7 p.m., CBC) at the Air Canada Centre, they’d take a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series, with game five in Washington on Friday. At the very least, the Maple Leafs have certainly defied the underdog tag when they opened the series against the Capitals, who won the Presidents’ Trophy as the NHL’s top team in the regular season. “This is not a game where we have to get better, we just have to keep getting better and better every game,” Leafs goalie Freddie Andersen said.
