Wayne Gretzky is off the ‘Leafs bandwagon’

Wayne Gretzky had initially predicted a rematch of the previous year’s Stanley Cup finals between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers for this season. But later, he changed course.

Earlier last month, he shared his thoughts on NHL on TNT where the NHL great admitted that he had lost confidence in the Toronto Maple Leafs.

“I'm off the Leafs bandwagon,” he stated bluntly.

He then explained that Tampa Bay looked stronger and would face less pressure compared to Toronto.

“I think going in there under less pressure and less of a microscope than Toronto — I think it's going to be a great series, Toronto–Tampa Bay in the semifinal. But I got Edmonton and Tampa Bay in the final,” he added.

However, the Panthers ended up eliminating the Bolts in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Meanwhile, the other half of Gretzky’s prediction can still be true as the Oilers are currently leading their second round playoff series 2-1 against the Vegas Golden Knights.
