Mike Zeisberger joins; Leafs stock rising, Schmid the Kid, Gallant's tactics, Pesky Kraken

Dan and Shawn are joined by NHL.com 's Toronto-based staff writer Mike Zeisberger to talk all things Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning. Zeisberger went over reasons why this year looks and feels different, most notably the fact that their top players are coming through in the clutch and the additions of forwards Ryan O'Reilly and Noel Acciari before the 2023 NHL Trade Deadline are paying big dividends. In addition, the guys went around the rest of the playoffs, touching on each series. They offered reasons why the New Jersey Devils have come back from 2-0 and wonder if Gerard Gallant's criticism of the team was the right motivational tactic. They both don't like the Winnipeg Jets' chances of winning three straight against the Vegas Golden Knights, and neither expressed concern for the Colorado Avalanche despite being locked in a 2-2 series against the Seattle Kraken.
