12 hours ago | clutchpoints.com | Quinn Allen |Nish Patel

The Toronto Maple Leafs have blown another 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Semifinals after the Florida Panthers have won the past two games. While scoring was a major issue in Game 4, another problem is how many times the Maple Leafs are going to the penalty box. Head coach Craig Berube explained how those troubles put them in an early hole in Sunday's contest in South Florida.

You can feel the emotion. Kyrie Irving is working tirelessly to get back to 100% after a very impressive season where he was arguably the Mavs’ best player, especially after the Luka Doncic trade. Kyrie averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists. He was named an All-Star in February for the ninth time. The Mavericks were criticized, however, for Irving’s usage after the Doncic blockbuster. He played nearly 40 minutes per contest across the last 10 games before the injury.

He’s tallied six points already, including a pair of goals in the series opener. He was quiet in Game 4, but the Swede did supply a pair of helpers in the OT defeat in Game 3.
