Our long nightmare on the fourth line is over. Not only that, the next time Tyler Bozak gets a boo boo on his finger, Brian Boyle can play up the lineup.

Will the Leafs be able to keep him past this summer? Who knows. Who cares. We finally have some centre depth.

> Brian Boyle has played 95 playoff games since 2012\. The only skater with more in that span is Carl Hagelin with 97.
