For the seventh straight season, the Toronto Maple Leafs are officially headed to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Hooray! Personally, the bigger story for me on Monday was the announcement that the Blue Jays will be selling a poutine hot dog at Rogers Centre this season. WTF.
I kicked off the Tuesday edition of Leafs Morning Take by handling both topics before stepping into the Ryan O’Reilly conversation. In case you missed it, the 2019 Conn Smythe Trophy winner has returned to practice and closing in on a return from his finger injury. So, with that in mind, I fully expect this question to surface again soon: Where’s the best spot in the lineup to deploy ROR?
After that, Jay Rosehill dropped by for another instalment of 3 Hits With Rosey. He even touched on the Sheldon Keefe/Michael Bunting spat on Sunday night in Nashville.
Meantime, powered by our new friends over at Skip, I was fortunate enough to have Bruce Boudreau return for another visit. We touched on everything from Keefe/Bunting to load management to Matthew Knies. Check it out!
Join us on Wednesday at 11 AM ET as we preview Wednesday night’s tilt between the Leafs and the Florida Panthers.
