So the Montreal-Toronto series finally gets underway Thursday. It’s the last of the eight first round series to get going. Considering that the Habs’ regular season ended with five consecutive defeats, two of them to Toronto, they probably weren’t in a rush to get things going. However, the Maple Leafs are probably going stir crazy. They haven’t won a postseason series since 2004. They are 0 for 5 since. That drought should end this year. The Leafs won the North Division pretty comfortably and had finished 17 points ahead of Montreal. They went 7-2-1 in the 10 regular season games vs. the Canadiens. We look for Game 1 to be relatively high scoring and go Over the total. Only one of the ten regular season meetings had fewer than five goals scored. That was the third one, back in February. Montreal will be healthier going into Game 1 than they have been in awhile. While that means goalie Carey Price is likely to return, he didn’t have the greatest regular season. However, the returns of Gallagher and Danault absolutely bolster the top line and make the offense more potent. Play on OVER
