It’s finally here. This is really it. The Maple Leafs are in the playoffs again. Against the Bruins again. I hope you all are ready.

Oh, there’s also a whole pile of other playoff series kick off games tonight too. I am really looking forward to the Devils and Lightning series. Too bad it’s set to be at the same time as Leafs games. After the Leafs game is over it would be fun to see if the Avalanche can somehow upset the Predators. The late game has Randy Carlyle’s Ducks against the Sharks.

I was one of only two people in the PPP Bracket Challenge to pick the Sharks to win the Stanley Cup. So... go Sharks... at least until the Leafs actually do make the final, then I retroactively change my selection to the Leafs.

There’s nothing more to say now than: GO LEAFS GO!

Who will get the first Leafs goal tonight?
