Morning Coffee: Leafs Nation braces as Senators stay alive in Battle of Ontario
Leafs Nation, buckle up and hold on tight.
The Battle of Ontario isn’t over just yet.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are a rollercoaster that has hockey fans sweating before the first drop even hits.
When it comes to the Toronto Maple Leafs, none of us have any clue whether the ride is going to twist, turn, or completely fall off the rails at any given moment.
What we do know is that it’s about to get bumpier.
Leafs Nation could not have been more content taking in the views as they ascended to the precipice of the second round with three wins in a row over the Ottawa Senators.
After back-to-back losses, they’re suddenly gripping the safety bar a little tighter, frozen at the peak, listening to the gear’s creek, hoping the cart doesn’t come unhinged.
The exact same ride that seemed like it would be a blast for Leafs Nation just a moment ago is set for a screaming finale that has hearts pounding ahead of the grand finale.
Whatever happens next, please remember to always keep your sticks and skates inside the ride until it comes to a complete stop.
This is the Morning Coffee for Wednesday, April 30th.
It’s wild how one lucky bounce or a monster check can change the complexion of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Montreal Canadiens seemed poised to tie their first round........
