NBA analyst Charles Barkley recently came through with his thoughts on the Toronto Maple Leafs and how they are going to do in the upcoming NHL Playoffs.
Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs will officially begin their journey throughout the NHL Playoffs and there is no doubt that fans are exceptionally excited.
Although the Leafs are known for choking in the postseason, this appears to be the year where they can go on a bit of a deep run, especially with how they played at the end of the season.
With the Ottawa Senators in their sights, it really does feel like fans are about to be treated to a first-round series for the ages.
Charles Barkley makes his Stanley Cup pick
Many from outside of the hockey world are giving their picks right now as it pertains to who is going to win the Stanley Cup.
Overall, the Leafs are an intriguing team, especially since the Eastern Conference is wide open this season. As it turns out, Charles Barkley likes them a lot.
The NBA legend recently did his bracket, and he had the Maple Leafs playing against the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals. Unfortunately, he picked the Oilers.
The Oilers are a popular choice as they have Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid. That said, they are a team with some very iffy goaltending these days.
On the other side, the Maple Leafs are a team that has gotten fantastic goaltending and their defense has also been solid. Something has got to give.
If you are a fan of the Maple Leafs, you have to be excited about the impending potential of a Cup run. First, they must think about the Senators.
Game 1 is set to go down at 7 PM EST tonight and if you want to watch, you can do so over on Sportsnet.
