Karma is a scary and powerful thing. When the playoffs started, and the world new the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs would square off again in the first round, the Montreal Canadiens fan base chose a side. And that was the side of the black and gold. We fast forward the calendar about five weeks, and the Boston Bruins are now going to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2013.
Does it sting? Yeah. The Habs and Bruins have had a more venomous rivalry over the last decade given the number of important games played between the two.
