After an impressive show in Game 1, fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t hesitate to express their disappointment following a poorly played and atrociously officiated 4-1 loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday.
In light of the intense criticism that the Leafs have been receiving in the wake of Saturday’s loss, it seems like a good time to look back on the last two times the Leafs met the Bruins.
In the last six years, the Leafs have faced the Bruins three times in the first round of the playoffs, building a rivalry that has dominated Leafs Nation in recent years and put tensions with the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators on the back burner.
