The second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs begins on Tuesday with a pair of unexpected matchups.
The Florida Panthers and Toronto Maple Leafs took out two of the top contenders for the Stanley Cup out of the Eastern Conference.
Florida ended the Boston Bruins' Presidents' Trophy-winning season, while Toronto finally got out of the first round by beating the Tampa Bay Lightning, who participated in the last three Stanley Cup Finals.
Toronto should have the edge in Game 1 because of its home ice and the extra day of rest over Florida, but the Leafs now have to manage the weight of expectations since they could be viewed as the favorite to win the East.
