<p>There’s some good news and some bad news on this Friday.</p>
<p>I’ll start with the good. Just two weeks ago, after dropping the first two games of their series with the Rangers on home ice, the Devils found a way to persevere and storm back to take the series in seven games. That bad news is the fact that the Leafs are down 0-2 and are two losses from the season being over.</p>
<p>We kicked off the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJI1ZqFFvBo">Friday edition of Leafs Morning Take</a> by dissecting Game 2 and what the Leafs need to do to get back in the series. Fortunately, they’re 3-0 away from Scotiabank Arena so far this postseason. It’s doable.</p>

<p>After that, powered by our friends over at <a href="https://www.skipthedishes.com/">Skip</a>, we broke down the Sam Bennett hit on Matthew Knies. Naturally, especially with Rosey being a former tough guy in the show, we wondered if Toronto should’ve tried to do something about it.</p>
