The Bruins have now defeated the Leafs in Game 7 in the opening round of the playoffs three of the last seven seasons, with each clincher coming at TD Garden.
The Bruins will now take on the Columbus Blue Jackets after the conference's eighth seed swept the Presidents' Trophy-winning Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round. The series was a back-and-forth slugfest featuring razor-thin margins. Neither team managed to put together consecutive victories until the Bruins won 4-2 in Game 6 on Sunday to stave off elimination in Toronto before taking Tuesday's winner-take-all showdown.
The Bruins came with a push to start the third period, and Kuraly made Toronto pay when stepped aroundin the neutral zone and beat Andersen with his first of the playoffs on a shot over his left shoulder that the Leafs goalie will want back at 2:40.
And jackets will beat bruins in round two so all will be ok with the world again anyways!
The tears of the leafs fans are delicious
Won't be this year but it's coming. Keep the faith. LeafsForever goleafsgo
Great day for Hockey!

Bruins even series with Game 4 win over Maple Leafs - Sportsnet.caDavid Pastrnak scored twice in the second period as the Boston Bruins beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-4 in Game 4 to even their first round series at two games apiece. Horrible game call by Jim Houston and Craig Simpson... This game was even over before it started. Fukcing Hughson was calling it. No Matthews on ice trying to tie. I'm confused. Marleau 16 min. Very confused. No extra ice for Moore. Still confused.

NHL way to go even Cherry said it was no goal. League is a joke Bettman fixed games in NBA so why not hockey. I hate both teams but Bruins got the shaft here. And must be nice for Leafs fans to have such a homer broadcast as this is shown nation wide. You suck fixed.gif Good game marred by a bad call. That was goalie interference any day of the week. Not a fan of either team so have no skin in this but a completely blown call.
