It was an eventful week both on and off the ice in Leaf Nation! The week began with the announcement of John Chayka as the new GM, a move that sparked controversy and led to a heated press conference where the media scrutinized the decision. Just two days later, the Leafs celebrated winning the NHL Draft lottery. On the ice, the Hurricanes continued their impressive performance, making history by becoming the first team since 1985 to start the playoffs with eight straight wins, easily defeating the Flyers. Meanwhile, Montreal found their offensive rhythm, taking a 2-1 series lead over the Sabres. The Wild made a comeback, winning Game 3 after losing the first two games in Colorado, while the Ducks knot their series at two with the Knights.
