Sergachev Roasts the Leafs' Past Playoff Performances

The Leafs were finally able to get over one of their curses last season, sending the Lightning home in the first round and making it to the second round for the first time in decades. The Tampa Bay Lightning had notoriously sent the Leafs packing a few seasons in a row before, and Mikhail Sergachev reminded fans of that ahead of the Leafs-Lightning game tonight.

Sergachev Highlight's Emerging Rivalry Between Teams

The Leafs and Lightning seem to be quickly becoming emerging rivals, which isn't surprising considering the number of times the two teams have faced off in the playoffs. The reunion tonight is sure to have its excitement despite it being early in the season.



For Sergachev himself, he has been off to a slow start this year. While he has been taking on big minutes this year, he is a minus 7 to start the year, with only 1 assist.
