The Toronto Maple Leafs will do what they haven’t done in almost 20 years: play in the second round.
The Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning in a glorious six game series in round one, and will be looking to make just their 5th conference final appearance since 1979, which is about 44 years.
The Leafs have not won a Stanley Cup, or even made a Finals appearance since the NHL expanded beyond six teams.
Perhaps this is the year they do, and a good way to do that is to dress their optimal lineup.
