00:00I'm on the Leafs in the series.
00:01Hell, I got the Leafs to win the Stanley Cup.
00:03So if they can't win tonight, they're not going to win the series.
00:06I don't like to say that game ones are must-win situations
00:09because it's kind of ridiculous.
00:11It's the first game of a series.
00:13But if you're the Toronto Maple Leafs, you can't make it harder on yourself, right?
00:19Like, you saw against the Ottawa Senators,
00:22the Leafs had a 3-0 series lead, and they still only won in six, right?
00:26The Leafs, like, as the series go on, it's harder for the Leafs to close teams out.
00:31They have a hard time closing teams out, as we know.
00:33They're like 2-14 in their last 16 elimination games, right?
00:37So they got to play well early in the series.
00:39Put it this way.
00:39If the Leafs are up two games to none going back to Florida,
00:43there's no guarantee the Leafs are going to win the series.
00:45If the Leafs are down 0-2 going to Florida,
00:48there's a guarantee they're going to lose the series.
00:50Like, it's one of these deals for the Leafs.
00:51They can't win the series in the first two games,
00:53but they can certainly lose the series in the first two games.
00:56We break it down live.
00:58Let's roll.
00:58This is Portrait.
