Not much on the Leafs front again today, but still plenty of news around the league. Tampa came out firing on all cylinders last night, opening a three goal lead on the Bruins and never looking back. Gonna be tough to win four against the Lightening considering the play of

So the Boston Bruins sweep the Philadelphia Flyers and move on to face the Tampa Bay Lightening in the Eastern Conference Finals. In doing so, the Bruins move four wins away from the Cup finals and gifting the Leafs an extra 2nd round pick in next year's draft.
