And for good measure:
Kaps/Kessel trade. Kessel helps Pens win Cup. Kaps scores his first against the Pens to stay in the line up. Kaps help defeat the Caps. It's a beautiful cycle. And the kid looks exactly like Olli Maatta. Damn twins.
Nothing but praise for the Leafs play. Go shock the world, Toronto.
In all honesty this should be a higher scoring series so far. Both teams have had TONS of Grade A scoring chances. Both teams majorly lacking finish so far these games could go lopsided in a hurry - it's actually shocking they've both made it to OT.

what ends up being a higher number? The number of series talk threads? Or number of games in the series?
Leafs playing without Zaitsev and Polak still looked really good. What a system Babcock has instilled into these young players.
Rielly and Gardiner look like #1 dmen. Matthews/Nylander/Marner not playing at their highest level offensively but are playing great at the other end of the ice.
The Leafs are so dangerous. All their young kids probably haven't grasped the levity of the situation and they're just playing hockey. No pressure, whatever happens happens and regardless we'll be back next year. And the next 10 years after that.
The Capitals have only been leading for 3 minutes 19 seconds this series. The Leafs for 53 minutes 31 seconds.
Boys it doesn't get any better than this
