Episode 16: Leafs are down 0-2 to the Panthers, but why does it feel like they’re still going to win the series?
In this edition of The HockeyVerse, we recap the Game 2 loss by the Toronto Maple Leafs against the Florida Panthers and look ahead to what is looking like a couple of must-win games in Florida, with the help of NHL.com insider Mike Zeisberger. We also talked about the red-hot Sergei Bobrovsky, why Sam Bennett wasn’t suspended and whether Matthews Knies has played his last game of the playoffs.
