Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!

Tonight is game five of the Stanley Cup Finals between the never won Florida Panthers and the five time champion Edmonton Oilers.

As a bitter, jealous, and not at all paying attention Maple Leafs fan I can only hope Florida does the deed tonight, on their third chance to win their first cup after being swept in 1996 by the Colorado Avalanche and lost in five last year to the Vegas Golden Knights.

Game time is 8PM tonight.

Once the pesky playoffs are over, we can really focus on the upcoming draft, but if course you're well informed because you've been reading all of the player profiles Brian is writing.

Should the Leafs go big or not with goaltending?
