A multi-goal lead for the Leafs with less than a period to go... they've been here before.

EDIT: I forgot which uniforms were which. Both are blue & white...

Lol NHL refs. Toronto with an absolutely blatant high stick a foot from the ref uncalled.

Definitely hit him in the face but also didn't hurt him at all, so I thought it was funny that he had to fake being hurt all the way back to the bench.

Leafs have more talent, but love them or hate them, Tampa just knows how to play playoff hockey. They finish their checks. They take what is given, they throw their bodies around, and everyone on that Leafs team is hearing footsteps. If you get a few square feet of ice they make you pay for it.

I’m more sick of Tampa than I am of the poor Leafs narrative. So I guess since they can’t both lose, I am rooting for the Leafs, but man do you have to respect Tampa.

Fluky goal. 3 OT losses. Outplayed the Leafs in a couple of the losses. But just couldn’t lock down games the way they would have in the past.

Not feeling great watching the Leafs finally close out a series (in a tough place to do so historically given the Bolts' home playoff records of the past few years) while the Bruins have choked away the past two games.

If the Rangers win tonight, it leaves the Hurricanes as the only team among the final 8 to have won a Cup this millenium.

I don't know if the Devils are ready, but with the B's out there is an open path out of the east. Figured this was the learning year for a young team, should be a great game to see if they are ready now or take the lesson into next year.
