Toronto and Boston hook up once again in the postseason in what should be an exciting and closely fought series. Our NHL expert Neil Parker has crunched the numbers and believes one side has a decided edge. Find out which team that is below!The Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins meet in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2019, and even though it’s been a hot minute, any and every meeting between the two Original Six rivals is a crash course on and off the ice.
There are still glaring red flags, though. Boston doesn’t and hasn’t driven possession all season, and the Bruins have seen their team save percentage and power-play percentage dip as the year has progressed. The obvious elephant in the room is Toronto struggling defensively and in net off and on all season especially down the stretch. Still, before losing four straight to finish the year, the Maple Leafs rolled off a 20-7-1 stretch with the most goals per game and the 10th fewest against. Toronto just needs to play to its potential and not let Boston be better than the sum of its parts.
While the -200 vig might not be too appealing at first glance, just remember it’s still a payout of 50 cents on the dollar.
