And the Bruins lost to them in Dec. 3-2 and then beat them 4-1 in Feb....without their top scorer. Two more matches to see how it shakes out for the regular season.
If Toronto meets Boston in Rd.1, I see the same result as the previous two playoff meetings. I think Boston, Tampa, and Washington will be the ones to rise to the top of east playoffs, just not sure which goal tender will make the difference.
Sorry Leaf fans. Team does still have a much brighter future than it has in recent years.
