Playoff hockey is great, but the emptiness of being a Leafs fan on the sidelines has returned again this spring. May as well join a pool with your fellow MLHS’ers to increase your personal interest in the playoffs. I have set up a Maple Leafs Hot Stove group at the CBC Playoff Pool. The grand prize for the winner of the overall CBC pool is a KIA car of some sort, and we’ll figure out a prize for the champion of the MLHS group as well. Join the group here and share your picks in the comments.
