While the Toronto Maple Leafs players and staff spent yesterday conducting often excruciating postmortem interviews (did you know that the Leafs’ internal metrics say that Cody Ceci is better than you think? I bet you feel really bad about criticizing him now, because of those internal metrics, which Kyle Dubas will obviously not reveal to us, as they are internal, and also may or may not exist), the first round of the NHL playoffs continued on. I don’t blame anyone who doesn’t want to watch—there’s a kid-with-her-nose-pressed-to-the-candy-shop-window element to the postseason once your team’s out of it—but hell, there’s still fun stuff happening.
From the Branches: Day three of the first round
