May the 4th be with you today, and always. It would only be fitting if Bo Bichette went 5/5 today.
It's second round eve, the final series of the first round ends tonight in Winnipeg.
Home team triumphing in every game. Hellebuyck, 2.30GAA at home in series, 7.22GAA on the road. Oh my.
Leafs were 1-3-0 against the Panthers during regular season. Outscored 13-7. Florida was 5/11 on the power play during the Atlantic battle.
Challenge for Toronto in this series is that, well, Panthers are defending champs, nice pedigree. And the Leafs never seem to do, too well against Marchand in the post season.
Florida had six players who averaged a point a game during their series opener against the Lightning. Panthers will be without Ekblad in game one, due to suspension.
Rematch of the 2023 playoff series, remember when the Leafs last won a series. Their first since 2004.
During the Panthers run to the cup last season, they had playoff participation from OEL, Lorentz and Stolarz.
Stolarz in 22 (home) starts in Toronto this season. 14-6-1, 1.88, .931. He's good.
Back Monday morning to get everybody pumped for game 1.
