With Tampa being blown out by the Isles, the Leafs have accomplished something very important ahead of round 1
Following the Leafs' OT loss against the Bruins and the Lightning falling short to the Islanders last night, all the details of the Leafs' round-one matchup have been set in stone.
It feels like another round-one playoff matchup of Toronto vs. Tampa has been a given since at least December, but the two teams have remained fairly close in the standings, sitting 2nd and 3rd in the Atlantic. It was hard to predict which team would get home ice advantage when it came down to it, but now it's official, the Leafs will start their playoffs at home again.
The Leafs have four more regular season games, including their final home game on Saturday against the Canadiens. It's not unlikely that we'll see some star players rested in the remaining games as the team prepares for playoffs to start the week of April 17th. Buckle up, Leafs Nation - things are about to get interesting.
