    I was thinking earlier that it is about time Timmins gets a goal. Who had bet the line on the Leafs first goal was Timmins from Benoit and Reaves?

      If he stops the first 10 shots, we’ll be in good shape.

      Great shorty by Marner, but props to Gallgher for the line drive.

      I dunno - they have some great young players like Montembault, Caufield, Hutson, but I just don’t think they have the depth or the grit for a long playoff run.
