    Leafs With More on the Line Than Just Their Season

    On hour two of The FAN Morning Show Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning ponder if certain decisions have already been made by executives but also what a good game and how extending the series could alter their thinking.

The trio also discusses the team’s confidence after Game 5 and playing in front of Joseph Woll. The hour ends with the daily Wake and Rake!

Sam McKee, producer and co-host of Real Kyper and Bourne and Leafs Talk, weighs in on what the Maple Leafs are capable of when everything clicks, Joseph Woll's performance between the pipes, Max Domi and Mitch Marner's play on the top line, and if the pressure now switches to the Bruins. Joshua Kloke, writer for The Athletic who was at TD Garden last night, shares his standouts from Game 5, before looking into how one game can change the mood of a series and the status of Auston Matthews (25:55). There is still hope, Leafs fans!

They talk about whether the goalie can be a difference-maker and if he was inserted too late into the series. Next, they begin to look ahead to Game 6 and wonder what the atmosphere will be like at Scotiabank Arena; if it will depend on the energy and life the team shows to start that game.
