The Toronto Maple Leafs will take on the St. Louis Blues in the Stanley Cup Finals.
They played each other twice this regular season, splitting it 1-1, so high expectations on a long series is what we will be hoping for.
Toronto's Keys to Succeed:
The Leafs will need big performances from Auston Matthews, Tomas Hertl, Ryan Johansen and the list goes on. The Leafs have a lot of key factors that it will be hard for St. Louis to be able to shut them down.
The Leafs Defence has a packed house also, Kevin Shattenkirk had a rough season this year compared to previous seasons, but has performed extremely well in the playoffs, Morgan Rielly continues to be reliable on the PP and on the back end for his team. Dougie Hamilton earned his spot on the powerplay and hasn't disappointed.
The Goalies are the key factor. They've both been getting time, which is expected when you have two goalies that could be a starting goalie for any team. So a lot of props to the coaching staff on making sure they're keeping the two goalies happy.
