CBJ was garbage after the first period. Sucks when you outplay a team like crazy in the first (16-3 lead in shots) and score no goals to show for it.

Gameday! Let's see if this will be start of a major upset, or just another predictable series.

I think the Kids will perform well. At the very least the Leafs should make it a fun series.

I'll be doing some channel surfing tonight

The Leafs are really playing well tonight. I know it's only Game 1, but is it time for the Caps to start their annual playoff collapse?

The earlier the better!

Toronto certainly doesn't seem scared of Washington.

I still think the Caps will find another gear and win the series relatively comfortably, but the Leafs are playing well.

Sucks losing after getting a 2-0 lead early but never scoring again after. Doesn't look like a quick easy series like many said it'd be.

Leafs took Caps to OT in their own building. Moral victory and another lesson for Babcock to teach them.

Part of what makes the playoffs so intriguing. I could see it going either way: Toronto gaining confidence and making it a series knowing that they can hang with these supposed juggernauts, or Washington going "ok, we got away with that one, time to end these kids' seasons" and ending it quickly.
