Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!

It's game three tonight, and the Maple Leafs are coming on riding high on a game two playoff road win.

With only three more wins needed, the Leafs have the advantage with two straight home games, which hopefully will set them up for a game five victory in Boston.

One day we'll make the arena name Toronto Dominion Garden work in our favour.

So, while we wait the long wait for puck drop, let's catch up on the other playoff series.

The New York Rangers lead their series vs the Washington Capitals 2-0, and head out on the road to try for a sweep.

Are the Tampa Bay Lightning seeing their time on top of the league zone to an end? Right now they're down 2-0 to the Panthers and are looking at another first round exit.

When Bobrovsky is making saves like this, it's hard to think they'd be down.

The Avalanche were able to make the comeback this time and tie their series vs the Jets* 1-1.

Oilers vs Kings continues, and I don't think a comeback is likely here.

Finally, the PWHL can now make their own "Toronto bias" conspiracies as the league moves all video review to....Toronto.

Can't wait for an overturned goal on Toronto's favour in the playoffs.

Enjoy your day everyone!
