It’s always fun when your team clinches without doing anything. The Maple Leafs were all at their homes last night eating pasta casserole and playing video games or spending hours watching TikTok videos when the news broke that because some other team won or lost, they were officially in the playoffs.

So now that’s out of the way, the Leafs play the waiting game, oh and also eight more regular season games, one of which is against the Lightning, which will be the most interesting to watch, while for the others we simply hope no one is injured.

The next game is tomorrow against the Panthers here in Toronto.
