The Maple Leafs had a chance to wrap up their series with the Senators on Saturday but lost in overtime, as Toronto’s ‘Core Four’ dropped to 1-12 in close-out games. So, how important is it for the Leafs to end the series on Tuesday in Game 5? Bryan Hayes joins SC with Jay Onrait for another edition of Harvey’s Hot Takes, where he shares his thoughts on the importance of Game 5 for the Leafs, as well as what to expect from Connor Hellebuyck the rest of the series, and how shocked he was to see Shedeur Sanders drop down the NFL Draft.

Steve Dangle Joker Sequel???
Feels like no one wants to take a penalty or risk a turnover so the highly paid team members don't do anything. They shouldn't have gotten so much money w/o getting through at least a 2nd round.
Stupid media. It's the playoffs. If you want to keep playing every game is a must win game. You need to win 16 of the dang things to hoist a cup.
April 29, 2023: Game 6 Toronto beats Tampa Bay to advance
April 29, 2025: Game 5 vs Ottawa will history repeat itself on this day 🤔
5-3 Ottawa tonite. I never been wrong on ANY OF MY bets all year.
Such negativity. The question should be "How important is it for the Sins to win game 5?.
I can see Toronto being the 5th team in history to blow a 3-0 lead
The Leafs could be down 3-1. Absurd group of soy boys.
To show this team has the fire they need to win at home. 1 and 12 to close out series is awful.
Go Leafs Go. ❤❤❤
“The CFL is calling you” 😭💀
It shouldn't be about the supporting cast. Top paid must play.
Leafs in 7 games
Florida Panthers will destroy whomever (Leafs or Sens) they'll face next!
Marner has outplayed Matthews so expect Mitchy to earn the NHL's next highest salary until McDavid's contract is up.
We all know anything can happen in sports, but from what I have seen in this series, the leafs definitely look like the better team and you can see that by how Ottawa goes in huge stretches without a shot on net.
That's a good point Bryan
Well Said Hayes 👍
Great synopsis 😁🇨🇦
😂CFL❤🇨🇦
NOT
Leafs come out strong tonight
Im expecting them to have a game like game 1.
lol 1-12 stat be totally eradicated? the best they can do is 2-12….
Extremely important for the Leafs to "Seal the Deal" tonight at home, against the Sens? Then Toronto, can rest and prepare for the 2nd RD. GO LEAFS GO !!!!
Hayes voted for the libs
Knies is amped up and he will be huge tonight. quit talking about roster changes like mein kampf, and roberson, the team they have dressing tonight, will have to do the job, tonight!
I don't follow Football at all, what's the deal with this Sanders story? Potential Top-5 pick but fell to the 5th round?? Was it a personality thing or did NFL teams just not value his skill?
the irony of a 10 minute TSN segment saying "you can't let this get any louder." You are the ones making the Youtube video.
This is clearly not a must win. When you go up 3-0 in a series you have the luxury of games 4-6 not being must wins.
