Beyond the big two, the Bruins heavily revert to the big bad Bruins philosophy. The Leafs being able to play the Bruins physical style of play was admirable, but can’t become their approach to a series against Boston. Comparatively to other playoff meetings, it might be the Bruins more opposed to seeing this matchup than the Leafs this time around. The Leafs are very comfortably finding themselves in the second place spot, so the Bruins are an unlikely first round opponent. Face the current two time defending Stanley Cup Champions or face the team that has become synonymous with the Leafs playoff disappointment.
