The Toronto Maple Leafs are having one of those years where injuries are at a bare minimum "Knock on wood" and all the pieces they've collected are contributing one way or another.
They are still coming into the playoffs with low expectations, but they've already shot down doubters as they weren't even considered a darkhorse team to be here right now.
The dominated the Ottawa Senators in the first series, even though the season record between the two was 1-3-1 in favor of the Senators.
They'll prepare for the Washington Capitals in the Quarter Finals of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Leafs had the favourable wins in the seasons series 2-1-0, but are climbing an uphill battle against the Washington Capitals.
Though the Leafs finished the conference higher in the standings, the Washington Capitals are expected to win the series.
