Before the playoffs started, a lot of the chatter or analysis around Florida and TB as opponents leaned toward a preference for TB, as many said, they are very similar to the leafs style and skill wise.I think this will be a tighter series than most people are expecting. Florida is a tough opponent, for sure, and the Leafs are the underdogs - but only barely, I’d say. This is really another coin flip series for the Leafs. If a few things break right, they could absolutely win. They just really need to not have any nights like game 5.
Well Florida pretty much wiped the floor with TB. So I’m not sure how we can say that the leafs line up any better to FL than TB did.
it’s hard to feel any kind of confidence for this round. For me anyway.
