The Battle of Ontario is officially back — playoff style! In this episode, we break down the Ottawa Senators vs. Toronto Maple Leafs first-round matchup, their first postseason meeting in over 21 years.
We dive deep into each team's roster strengths and weaknesses, and discuss key players who could spark bad blood in the series. We also look at the health and status of Brady Tkachuk — is he healthy or healthy enough?
