Outlook:
Toronto loves to run and gun. Ottawa must find a way to slow the game down and play a defensive and patient style. If the Maple Leafs get to play an uptempo game, they will win the series quickly.
Ottawa struggled at the end of the regular season and it is difficult to turn it on at will. The Senators acquired goalie Tom Barrasso with a heavy price for his playoff experience, but he is playing with a badly bruised index finger.
Toronto lost Bryan Berard and that has affected the team and especially their power-play. Goalie Curtis Joseph is playing good, but the Maple Leafs allowed almost 30 shots a game and that is too much. If CuJo gets in the zone, the Leafs will win.
Prediction:
Maple Leafs in seven.
