LTL Quick Hits Volume 1: Who Wants the Leafs in Round 1 of the NHL Playoffs?

Where to Listen

Welcome to our 1st volume of LTL Quick Hits! 

In this bonus episode, we discuss the upcoming NHL playoffs and who would prefer to play the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round. When we last spoke with Rachel Doerrie, we asked her to weigh in on the potential matchups between the Leafs, the Boston Bruins, and the Florida Panthers. In this excerpt, Rachel explains why Boston would probably want to take on the Buds and we definitely agree! With the  Bruins historical dominance over the Leafs and the mental advantage they hold, no doubt they would be licking their chops. We also discuss the Panthers’ strong offensive weapons and the goaltending factor. One thing is for sure, at some point the Leafs’ playoff hopes will need to go through Boston. Beating the Bruins could be just the thing to galvanize the Leafs and relieve them of the mental burden they’ve been carrying. After that anything goes! Go Leafs Go!
