Hundreds of days, dozens of weeks of waiting and now the Toronto Maple Leafs are once again in the playoffs. and for the first time in a long, long, long time they open their first round series on home ice.
The opponent is the back to back Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning. This fact worries some people, but not me. We have some of the best offensive players on our side. We have some nice guys on defence and goaltending. Tampa has some good players, but they tend to do things like kick puppies, slash fans tires, and write passive aggressive posts on Nextdoor about their neighbours instead of just talking to them about the size of the hedges, Steven.
