Stats are based on regular season results. And in this series, even more than any other, the regular season means nothing.
How successful they were in the regular season will not remove the gorilla that is on the backs of the Leafs.
As for the Bolts, being 2-time defending champs is all you need to know. Their regular season means nothing, their playoff experience, and confidence, is all they need.
The Bolts, as you say, also have the better goalie.
