What is the story about?
In normal times, this would be a nice early playoff preview, with the Bruins and Maple Leafs preparing to meet in the first round for the 1,399th consecutive year.
Instead, the Leafs are just about the only Atlantic Division team not in the playoff picture (along with Florida), while the Bruins are hoping to hang onto their spot.
If you said before the season that the Leafs and Panthers would miss the playoffs but the Sabres and Bruins would get in, you probably would’ve gotten some funny looks.
Anyways,
that’s all a bit premature at this point. Tonight’s task is to secure two points against a Toronto team that is just about done with this season.
Bruins! Maple Leafs! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!
Discuss.
