"🗣️ John Tavares on the reality of playing the Bruins:

«It'll be a real challenge but real special to play in that. An Original Six (team) has got a lot of history to it. Great opportunity for us so we know it'll be a real test and we have to be prepared.» "

The Leafs lost all of their six clashes against the Bruins this season. If Toronto want to reach the second round once again this year, they'll need to be better.
"I agree that the Bruins will be a challenge. Balanced, structured team and well coached.

Leafs do lack depth and balance, as you say, especially on D and Goaltending has been a bit of a crapshoot.

I think the Leafs can win, but, they would have to be at their very best."

In their history, both teams faced each other 16 times in the playoffs. The last time was in 2019, and the Bruins won in seven games before losing in the Finals against the Blues.
