Analysis
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Boston Bruins over the Toronto Maple Leafs. It seems every year in which the Maple Leafs have a winning season and register 100 points or more, the hockey experts say it's finally time for them to return to glory. But the fact is that no team lately has been as successful in the regular season while laying as big an egg in the post-season. Toronto has made the playoffs in each of the past eight seasons, yet only advanced past the first round once during that time. Despite featuring the most prolific goal-scorer in the game currently (Auston Matthews - 69 this season), the Leafs can't get out of their own way after mid-April. The Leafs have a goaltending problem right now, and it appears to be a big one. They've tried all three of their netminders recently -- Woll, Samsonov, and Jones -- but none has been able to perform consistently. It was Samsonov in Game 1 and the Bruins scored four times on just 23 shots against the 27-year-old. The Leafs have now lost eight straight games to the Bruins. Take Boston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
