Leafs Hour: Feeling Out Florida Before Game 1

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee check in ahead of Game 1 of the Leafs' second-round matchup against the Florida Panthers. They discuss what's changed for the Leafs since the last time they met in the playoffs in 2023, the team's underdog mentality, the importance of a strong start, how to handle Florida's physical style and their expectations for the core forwards. Later, former NHLer and Panthers analyst Bill Lindsay (37:56) discusses what led to Florida's 4-1 series win over the Lightning in Round 1, how they've grown since their Stanley Cup win last year, Sergei Bobrovsky's clutch playoffs so far and much more.
