That's got to be one of the worst catchphrases in all of sports, and it's just another reason to hope for an early exit for the leafs.
Boston got off to a bit of a bad start this year but has been hot for months. The leafs are the converse, as usual: a great start and ho-hum over the second half.
The one thing that might hurt the B's is their so-so PK vs TO's strong PP, but the leafs also have a so-so PK. Also, the Canucks and the Caps have shown that playoff demons can be exorcised.
As good as Marner, Tavares & Matthews are, such a balanced, experienced roster as the Bruins' that also features some jam and youthful exuberance should be able to take the leafs in 6 or less. I hope.
