Why would games 1-2 be in toronto? Wouldn’t it go 2 in Tampa. 2 in TO then 1 Tampa 1 TO 1 Tampa?

I’m that bored. Today I should not only be watching the playoffs, but the first round of the Masters. It is like Xmas to me; I take the thurs and Friday off every year.
This year I’m working - I’m a Doctor so I could use any distraction from these times (as could we all). The silliness here is actually welcome, no matter how untethered from reality it is.
His opinion is the leafs have a chance if they win the first two at home - I don’t think they would be at home.

Ek, you might want to fact check some of your jersey numbers. For example, how do Connor Brown and Cody Goloubef both wear #28 for Ottawa? Hmm, Goloubef switched to #26 when Brown joined Ottawa last year. Goloubef also no longer plays for Ottawa. He's in Detroit now, and also not wearing #28.

You have Brodziak and Athanasiou both wearing #28 for the Oilers. Not possible.

You have Kase and Carey both wearing #28 in Boston. Not possible.

You have Lias Anderson and Phil Di Giuseppe both wearing #28 for NYR.

I dunno. Hard to debate your top 5 when the list is full of errors.

I really think this series would be a coin flip. It would all come down to goaltending. Last goal wins.

Based on last years results both teams will be looking for redemption. I would have said Leafs in 7 but they traded away their best chance to win a series in Kadri. Tampa in 6 based on the fact their offensive power can match the Leafs and their defence is far superior.
As we all know somehow this will be totally Hutchison’s fault until Keefe can grow some balls and slam a millionaire down a notch or two.

Apparently EK doesn’t get how the regular season determines home ice advantage for the playoffs
