The Hockey Writers Maple Leafs Lounge crew of Peter Baracchini welcomes in Matthew Zator to discuss the recent 3-2 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers, what effect the Michael Bunting injury will have on the lineup and the potential playoff run, whether is the right decision to rest Auston Matthews down the stretch and question marks on defence after the 8-1 loss to the Lightning. They also play a game of what if, as they ask the questions, "The Maple Leafs will win the Stanley Cup if..." and "The Maple Leafs won't win the Stanley Cup if..."
