Game Notes​
FLA
-Sergei Bobrovsky (4-1, 2.21 GAA, .901 Sv%) will likely start for the Panthers
-Sam Reinhart led Florida in scoring during their first round series against Tampa with 6 points in 5 games
-Matthew Tkachuk is of course expected to be an x-factor for the Panthers in this series. He had 5 points in 5 games but was limited to averaging just 13:42 in ice-time per game after missing the last 2 months of the regular season with an injury
TOR
-Anthony Stolarz (4-2, 2.21 GAA, .901 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
-Based on Sunday's practice the Leafs are expected to stick with the same lines they started game 6 against Ottawa with. That means Max Pacioretty will again begin on the Tavares-Nylander line

Leafs in 5, they'll eat their lunch at 5v5 and the Cats will get drawn into penalty trouble. The biggest challenge in this series will be staying healthy against the masters of the dark arts.

Knies attempted murder on Bennett would be the cherry on top.
 
First two games are going to tell the story. Wife got me tickets for Game1 so I'll be there to see the passion and carnage up close.

I want to see Knies crush Bennett. Carlo versus Marchand. And Benoit frustrate the shit out of Tkachuk..... heart & soul v heart & soul.
 
Starting this series with 3 straight shutouts for Stolarz would be really appreciated.

Go Leafs Go!!! Play hard and let's end this curse.

My Wishlist:
Leafs 4th Line (actually 3rd IMO) put up some goals in this series, our PP scores and don't give up shorties. Leafs put a great effort in all games of the series.
 
This draft lottery is a fun watch and I hope it reminds McDavid he was one ball away from joining his favourite player, Tyler Bozak, on his hometown team.

NYI wins the 1st overall pick
 
Arena is still pretty empty this close to game time. Figured it'd be filled by now
