Per TSN & Sportsnet.ca, the Leafs had a "family discussion" about talent not winning hockey games, defense first etc. I expect they'll come out guns-a-blazin', I'm hoping for another 6-5 OT thriller Wings win or better yet a 5-0 Wings SO.
Poor Babs' seat has been lukewarm for ~1 year & getting warmer. Ultimately, I think their failures in the PO's the last 2 years have been way more about their crappy D corps & lack of team defense/grit, but this year they should have enough talent on D to overcome most grit/physical deficencies. Babs will likely be the scapegoat if they fall to the B's again in the 1st round. They should trade Kapanen or Johnsson for a good stay at home Top 4 physical D w/size (Brad Stuart clone) & drop Ceci to the 3rd pair where he belongs. I'm surprised Shanny hasn't done this already, not sure why.
