As of Sunday morning every team in the playoffs has played three games and all series are two games to one. How do the Leafs measure up to the other 15, and one other in particular?

Recap: Morgan Rielly wins it in Overtime for the Leafs
The Leafs started out well, and then deteriorated while Tampa controlled the play. But Ilya Samsonov and Tampa's poor shot quality combined to give the better team through 58 minutes a one goal lead. Ryan O'Reilly tied it up and then it was a whole new game: Overtime.
Preview: Maple Leafs @ Lightning
The Leafs are leading the series against Tampa with a goal differential of +1 after one ten-goal game and one nine-goal game. So who wins game three?

We dole out the reverse awards and decide what we loved and less than loved about the Leafs this year.
How do your goalie opinions from last summer look now?
Last offseason was the summer of the Leafs goalie. Up front, the Leafs got obvious fit Zach Aston-Reese. They tried a couple of others who didn't work out and they rolled to the trade deadline with mostly last year's team, as expected. It was the goalie moves that mattered for the regular season.
Saturday FTB: Women's Hockey Schedule
The NHL regular season is over and the playoff matches are set. Before we get to that, though, the Women's World Championship finishes this weekend.
Black Aces and the Salary Cap
Just because the Leafs season is over, doesn't mean all the rules governing player movement are suspended. There's more to the CBA than the salary cap.

Happy, Thursday, everyone, today is game 82 of one of the most interesting seasons the Maple Leafs have ever played.
Wednesday FTB: Hungry for playoffs
That somewhat loopy game against the Lightning whetted the appetite for real hockey. Maybe not with Conor Timmins playing as a forward and the ATO du jour as a backup. But a series that does leave you asking: wait, are we blue in this one?

Why can't the Maple Leafs magic up a backup goalie
Is the NHL picking on the Leafs, out to get the Leafs? No, actually, it's because the Leafs said, "Look over here, pay no attention to the hand behind my back," and the league said, "What's that behind your back?"
Prospect Pool Update
There's more to the Maple Leafs depth than Matt Knies. He's taken up all the oxygen in prospect discussion, and rightly so now that he's actually on the team.
With his future plans settled, we can turn our attention to the rest of the prospects.
Matthew Knies is a Maple Leaf
Today the Toronto Maple Leafs have signed Matthew Knies to a three-year ELC. Knies, now 20 years old, was drafted in 2021 57th overall. He has been playing in the NCAA for two years after several in the USHL. He is listed at 6'3" and 209 lbs, and plays left wing.

Preview: Maple Leafs vs Bruins
No team is great all the time, and the Bruins have had some less than perfect games in March as they roll up the best regular season, maybe ever. But they aren't going to invite the Leafs over and not put on a show, so this will be a serious game.
