Toronto Maple Leafs: will this series be a tipping point?, Minnesota Wild Game 2 goalie decision backfires

Ahead of Thursday night's game, Sean shares his thoughts about the Maple Leafs' loss to the Lightning in Game 1, and if this playoff round could be a major tipping point for this team and their future. Also, the Minnesota Wild's decision to play Fleury in Game 2 despite Filip Gustavsson's fantastic performance in Game 1 backfires with a 7-3 loss to the Stars. Then, in Granger Things, Jesse Granger joins the show to discuss the goalie situation for the Golden Knights heading into their second game against the Jets, and if odds for the favorites have shifted after the first games have been played. Then to wrap up, a dive into the listener mailbag, and a look back with "This Week in Hockey History".
