Bruins vs maple leafs: 2013 NHL quarterfinals

I haven't really gotten around to writing about tonight's Bruins playoff opener against the Maple leafs but nonetheless, the Bruins seem poised for a run and heck i would love to see some summertime hockey taking place at the Garden.

Pregame Notes 

Maple leafs

  • Toronto has not made the playoffs in 9 years as 15 of 20 Toronto players dressing for this month's series have never played in a playoff game.
  • Tonight will make the first time since the trade that sent Tuukka Rask to the Bruins and the one that took Phil Kessel to Toronto, replacing him with the draft picks that turned out to be Tyler Seguin and Dougie Hamilton  took to the place
Bruins
  • Bruins finished the season, 1 point out of the Northeast Division title
  • The Bruins allowed the 3rd fewest goals in the NHL, boasting the best power play in the leauge for the majority of the season. 
  • Tuukka Rask has risen to the task of being the starting goaltender snagging and even 2.00 GAA
  • Brad Marchand led the Bruins with  36 points as Boston had 6 player with more than 10 goals (2 with 15 or more)

Series prediction (all be it slightly biased), Bruins win in 7 games 


GO B'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
