Is it the Caps Year? + Eastern Conference Preview

In this episode of the ToT-cast, Chris Okrainetz, David Morassutti, Jake Middleton and Omar White discuss the Toronto Maple Leafs upcoming series against the Washington Capitals games and preview the rest of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. We go through each series and provide our thoughts and analysis, as well as our predictions, for each series en route to who we believe will come out of the Eastern Conference. Some of the narratives we dig into during the podcast include: is it the Caps year? Can the Canadiens realistically ride Carey Price to an East final? Can the Penguins win with a defence by committee approach? and more. Here’s a rundown of when we discussed each series: – Toronto Maple Leafs versus Washington Capitals (2:15) – Ottawa Senators versus Boston Bruins (12:40) – New York Rangers versus Montreal Canadiens (19:00) – Columbus Blue Jackets versus Pittsburgh Penguins (29:13) – Our Eastern Conference semi-final projection (36:17) – Our Eastern Conference finals projection (43:24) * * * You can listen to every episode of the ToT-cast on iTunes, SoundCloud, or stream it from our website.
