The second round of the NHL's Stanley Cup playoffs has arrived and with it the Boston Bruins take on the Florida Panthers after taking care of business once again the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7 Sunday night in Boston. Where do the Leafs go from here? 

Changes are coming and that means fantasy fallout for a number of valuable fantasy hockey pieces - most notably Mitch Marner who could be on his way out if new President and CEO of Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment Keith Pelly decided major surgery is needed to cure this franchise that just cannot get it done in terms of on-ice success. 

We take a look into some intriguing young fantasy prospects for Toronto and breakdown our top-five things that need to change with the Leafs this summer.

Buckle up and here we go, hockey heads, the best two words in the sports realm will be popping off Saturday night in Boston: Game 7! The Toronto Maple Leafs have a massive opportunity to slay the dragon and change the narrative around Toronto hockey when it comes to not being able to get it done in the postseason - especially against the arch rival Boston Bruins. Before getting into what is sure to be an absolute classic of a hockey game Saturday night at TD Garden, Steele and Flip breakdown what's been working for the Edmonton Oilers, how they dispatched the L.A. Kings in five games, and who they line up better against the second round either the Nashville Predators or Vancouver Canucks. 

The boys also discuss the rising fantasy stock of Evan Bouchard who is having a sensational playoffs already following a big 80-plus point season and we wrap up the show by diving into their favourite betting angles for Saturday's showdown between the Leafs and Bruins and serve up our same-game parlays and locks of the night.

Just when we thought the first round of  NHL postseason was going to be a snoozer, series across the league popped off Tuesday night leaving us with a jam-packed Wednesday episode of the Locked On Fantasy Hockey Podcast that features a dive into what went wrong for Connor Hellebuyck and the Winnipeg Jets, as they bow out in five games to a loaded offensive crew in the Colorado Avalanche who look poised to take another series run at the Stanley Cup. 

We continue our playoff coverage with breakdowns of the Carolina Hurricanes rolling though the New York islanders and the Nashville Predators pushing their series with the Vancouver Canucks to a sixth game. Can the Toronto Maple Leafs win on home ice in the Game 6 against the Boston Bruins? Tune in and find out.  

The NHL's postseason rolls on and so does our daily coverage of all the major storylines from across the hockey world, including what is the next move for Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos and where does his Lightning team go from here in terms of the next contract for their 40-goal veteran? 

We discuss Tampa Bay bowing out to the Florida Panthers along with what's on tap for Game 5 between the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars - the Stars once again with a big response and performance from young gun Wyatt Johnston. Flip and Steele also take a look into Game 5 between the Edmonton Oilers and L.A. Kings while discussing Stuart Skinner and what it will take for the Kings to turn this series around and force a Game 6.

Considering how one-sided this NHL postseason has been so far, it's no wonder that some fans in a lot of fan bases are already preparing for the worst, with the Nashville Predators, Winnipeg Jets, Toronto Maple Leafs, and New York Islanders all on the brink of elimination in what have all been series lacking in serious competition. Meaning the Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche, Carolina Hurricanes, and Vancouver Canucks all have complete strangleholds on their opportunities to punch a ticket through to the second round of the NHL's chase for the Stanley Cup.

Teams on the brink, teams on the rise, and teams trying to figure out the difference between booking a tee time or pushing on toward the best trophy in sports in the Stanley Cup. For the New York Islanders and Tampa Bay Lightning, it's looking like an impossible road back against the Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers, respectively. 

The same could definitely be said for the Dallas Stars who have been clearly outmatched by the reigning Stanley Cup champions Vegas Golden Knights - the Stars' offense needs to be a whole lot better but who will step up and answer the call? 

The boys wrap up the show by serving up their big time bets for Saturday night's hockey action and of course, dive deep into the task at hand for the Toronto Maple Leafs who will look to avoid going down 3-1 heading back to Boston to take on the Bruins in Game 5.
