The Toronto Maple Leafs have a 3-1 series lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning. We don't quite believe it either. The series isn't over, and we know all too well that there's still time for Tampa to make a comeback. But, is this the year the Leafs finally make it out of the first round?
This episode's talking points:
Week in review (games 1, 2, 3 and 4 against the Lightning)
Series at a glance (themes from the first four games)
Goaltending (breaking down Andrei Vasilevskiy and Ilya Samsonov's play so far)
Some of the new Leafs have been playing incredibly (Luke Schenn, Ryan O'Reilly, Noel Acciari, and Matthew Knies)
Who hasn't been playing so well (the forwards [defensively], Mark Giordano, Justin Holl, TJ Brodie, and Jake McCabe)
Michael Bunting's return (does he come back in for game 5, and who comes out of the lineup if so?)
Sheldon Keefe (his coaching so far in the series)
The week ahead (game 5, and games 6 and 7 if necessary against the Lightning)
