It may seem like a game not to watch as both the Florida Panthers and the Toronto Maple Leafs have punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but for Ryan Reaves and the Maple Leafs, they look to set their tone versus their potential first round opponent in a possible rematch.

Despite their numerous injuries, Ryan Reaves and the Toronto Maple Leafs aren't going to be taking this game lightly as they face off against a potential playoff opponent, the Florida Panthers.

"You gotta set the tone for that series."

Although it is not certain the Panthers and Leafs will be the first round matchup, for this not to happen, the Panthers must win tonight while the Bruins lose versus the Ottawa Senators, a scenario that remains more than possible.

Ryan Reaves message speaks volumes for that Maple Leafs room as he is set to make his first playoff appearance in the Blue and White. The Maple Leafs must stay focused, which may be difficult as franchise star Auston Matthews looks to score his 70th goal of the campaign, for the first time in the 2000's.

More details to come.
