In game one of the playoffs for the Maple Leafs and Bruins on Saturday, April 20th, the Maple Leafs fell behind 5-1. The Bruins came in with a strong start and ended with a great 5-1 victory to begin playoffs.
You expect it at this point. It's the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, so it's time for the Toronto Maple Leafs' potent regular-season offense to disappear and for their players to panic in the glare of the postseason bright lights and do inexplicable things on the ice.
What does David Kampf do? The short answer is “frustrate you when overtime starts.” Given that we’re switching into playoff mode soon and 3 on 3 faceoff Kampf can’t hurt you anymore I’m going to attempt to expand on that answer.
With two weeks to go in the regular season, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers battled it out on the ice in Toronto for the third time this season and the first of two meetings in the next 16 days as both these teams get prepared for the playoffs, which could feature a rematch between the two Atlantic division rivals.

The NHL trade deadline is less than a week away and Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving isn’t finished upgrading his roster. There continues to be a focus to find another defensemen and likely a depth forward for the middle-six.

I’m not even sure if Calle Jarnkrok had hit the LTIR before he had lost his moniker to Pontus Holmberg.
