Is it about to be the Same Old Song and Dance for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

In their look at the Good, Bad & Ugly, Mike and Dave look at the play of the fourth line, the strong start to the game and Timothy Liljegren having some good moments. They give their thoughts on Ilya Samsonov's game and how much of a leash he has plus the team's struggles to clear out Bruins players from the front of the net.
