“Once again, it all falls on the Leafs’ top six, but it is the best top six they’ve ever had” — Anthony Petrielli discusses Toronto’s playoff lineup on Real Kyper & Bourne

Petrielli on the state of the Leafs‘ forward group ahead of the playoffs:

With the way it is configured, it all falls on the top six. You are not going to get much offense from the bottom-six lines. It is just the reality of it, but their top six is really good. Their top six, on paper, is fantastic. The McMann-Tavares-Nylander line is winning their minutes. The top line is a legitimate top line — one of the best in the league.

We have seen this before, but I think it might be the best second line they’ve ever had going into the playoffs.
