On this episode of The Puck Authority Podcast, Justin Levine welcomes on Josh Kim to discuss the start of the NHL Playoffs and the implications for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Throughout the duration of this podcast, the duo break down their Scotia North Division journey, which set the stage well for round one of the postseason. They talk about the shortened season and the many changes it presented with the pandemic, only playing their counterparts in the Canadian Division. They also speak on the opportunity this presented to the Leafs, as they take on a Montreal Canadiens team that has battled injuries throughout the season. As such, the two go over the rosters and what to keep an eye on come puck drop on Thursday. While speaking about implications, Josh and Justin discuss the current system that has both sides on edge as it pertains to their front office staff. Touching on this further, Justin reports on a potential change, as the outcome of the playoffs reflects a broken system. On the other side of the Canadian playoff picture, Justin and Josh look at the Oilers-Jets series and the roadblocks facing Edmonton based on their play throughout the season. Concluding the conversation, Josh speaks on the similarities that Winnipeg shares with the Montreal Canadiens and how their seeding affects them with the challenge they face in their first-round opposition. This includes lacklustre offence and a struggling goalie tandem, as displayed throughout the season.
