This feels like...the year. The year Edmonton makes a deep run to the Stanley Cup Finals. Connor McDavid has the look of a champion. Step one, get through the Los Angeles Kings.

One of the best rivalries in hockey is renewed as two Original 6 teams clash in the first round.

Yes, Toronto vs. Boston. Back at it again. History favours the Bruins but this a retooled Leafs lineup, that can match up skill wise and physically with any club.

Undrafted. But undeterred. Simon Benoit has battled every step of the way to get to the NHL. Now, he's the surprise standout on the Toronto Maple Leafs blueline, winning fans with his penchant for big hits and the big smile that lights up his face.
