Series in brief: Maple Leafs jerseys on the ice

Last night, two Canadian teams were in action.

One could take a 3-2 series lead and the other could advance to the next round:

Here are the results and highlights:

Leafs jerseys on the ice

The Leafs really didn’t play well last night.

They played so poorly that they lost 6-1 and even had team jerseys thrown on the ice.

Matthews is aware that his troupe has been very low-key.

Including himself, they all have to look in the mirror.

Toronto stole the shutout from Sergei Bobrovsky in the dying moments.

Half the fans had already left anyway.

In defeat, Matt Murray saw some action.

He replaced Joseph Woll, who allowed five goals on 25 shots.

Florida leads the series 3-2 and can eliminate the Leafs at home tomorrow.

And Danick didn’t miss the opportunity to taunt Toronto fans.

Oilers advance to next round

The Edmonton Oilers had a chance to eliminate the Golden Knights.

And thanks to a 1-0 overtime win, Edmonton advances to the next round and will face the winner of the Stars-Jets series in the Western Final.

Kasperi Kapanen scored the winning goal.

Connor McDavid’s team beat the Knights in just five games.

After Calvin Pickard’s injury, the Oilers’ unloved Stuart Skinner took over, and he did well.

In game four, he stopped all 23 shots he faced. And in yesterday’s game five, he pulled off another shutout, this time with 24 saves.

It’s always extreme with Oilers goalkeepers.

Connor McDavid hopes people will stop talking bad about his goalie.

Edmonton is the only Canadian team qualified for the Association Finals at the moment.

Not looking good for Toronto and Winnipeg…
