Watch this Leafs hype video to prepare yourselves for the start of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived! The 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs have arrived, and the defending Stanley Cup Champions await the Leafs in round one, as the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Toronto Maple Leafs will kick off their 7-game series at Scotiabank Arena tonight, with puck drop scheduled to take place shortly after 7:30pm ET.
It's easy enough to get excited about playoff hockey, but when you have arguably the best Leafs team of all time (statistically speaking) taking on the back-to-back champs in the opening round, there's a little extra electricity in the air.
A good friend of mine has created a Leafs hype video to mark the start of what could be the most important postseason matchup in the last 55 years for the Buds. Shout out, Nick! You can check out his hype vid here:
There are a lot of people who are ready to write the Leafs off before the series even begins. I've been saying it from the start. This team feels different. The scat tissue has been built up. The disappointment from last year was the catalyst for a series of changes that have turned this team from pretenders to contenders. This could be the year that the Leafs finally reverse the curse. I'm officially excited and I'm ready to get hurt! Are you in??
