Mark Masters is joined by TSN Hockey Insiders Pierre LeBrun and Chris Johnston to discuss why the Maple Leafs are the favourites this time around heading into their rematch with the Lightning. They also touch on the pressure Toronto is under with the stakes that much higher this year.

Overwhelming favourites lol…uh oh this Game 7 choke is gonna be even more painful than last year for Toronoto fans and media haha
I don’t think you know what overwhelming means.
Dumb just dumb. Fools will fall for this deceitful rhetoric by the poisonous media. Leafs fans don’t fall for this, these guys ain’t no favourites. They have yet to prove they have the intestinal fortitude to close a series.
Tampa in 7
Can we stop with this favourite crap…i want our leafs to win but lets not over estimate their abilities at this point in time
You guys are dellusional…
Samsonov is always on his knees…he is not very good…ur defence is suspect…and ur fowards lach toughness…
They must be getting paid good money, Tampa in 4.
lol @ Toronto media
Since when is a team that can't get past the first round favorites?! I really hope you fans arnt drinking this kool-aid.
You don't get to be a better favourite than having a 3-1 series lead over the 18th place team (the Canadiens) in the playoffs lol and look how that turned out
Last season maple leafs finished five points ahead of Tampa this season Maple Leafs finished thirteen points ahead of Tampa because the lightning where losing a lot games here and there which could be there down fall this time that could Toronto advantage go Leafs go
They’re hyping up expectations and tbh should not be a favourite. I’ve been a fan of the Leafs for 25+ years, just a lot of this comment section. We’ve seen this same song and dance before – don’t get too excited. This is going the distance.
