    Brad Marchand has been a thorn in the side of the
    Toronto Maple Leafs over the years, including with
    a goal and two assists last night, so I suggest that
    Toronto trade for him. They might also want to
    invest in a playoff goalie, or draft one.

    But congratulations to the Leafs on a great regular
    season and a good playoff run, and good luck
    to Florida against Carolina.

    A great regular season counts for nothing if you blow it in the
    play-offs...

    and good luck to Florida against Carolina.

    The Panthers will be tough to beat...

    Yes, Winnipeg and Washington learned that lesson as well.
