The first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs typically delivers all kinds of drama and this series between the Leafs and Habs, had all the makings of a historical matchup. No one could've predicted what would transpire in the opening period of the game one. So, how are we doing LeafsNation? If you're still recovering, we feel you. Seeing what happened to our Captain had everyone holding our collective breath. On the ice and up and down their bench, his teammates appeared visibly shaken.  But they rallied, and we prayed, and so far things are looking up.

In this episode we're looking at how things have unfolded, beginning with John Tavares' injury, and giving you our thoughts on the Series so far. We're also delving into how the Team has responded and which players we feel have elevated their play. We'll wrap things up by looking at the strategy and possible adjustments on the Canadiens side of things.

As an extra bonus, we're giving you the results from our Playoff Poll questions from games one and two. It's been great to be able to interact with all of you on the Socials, and we'll be doing it all playoffs long! So get in on the fun and share your opinion every game day with the Ladies Game Day Playoff Poll. You can find it on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram @LTL1917.

So much can happen in a given series, and while we don't know what the rest of this week will bring, one thing's for sure, this team is bound and determined to #WinitforJT.  Personally, we can't think of a better motive to finally get over the hump. We'll talk to you all on the other side.
