3 Takeaways From Bruins’ 5-1 Game 1 Win Over Maple Leafs
April 21, 2024 by Scott Roche
After losing three of their final four games of the regular season, the Boston Bruins went from winning the Atlantic Division to finishing second. By finishing behind the Florida Panthers, that meant a first-round matchup with the Toronto Maple Leafs instead of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

April 20, 2024 by Hannah Garfield
The 2024 NHL Playoffs are here, and the Boston Bruins are taking on longtime rival, The Toronto Maple Leafs, in the first round. This is certainly not the first time the two teams have met in the first round. The last time it happened was in 2019 when the Bruins won the series in seven games.
The Bruins come into this postseason having been ejected in the first round of the last two campaigns. After another very good regular season, the question is whether or not they have enough left in the tank to get them out of the first round and a run at the Stanley Cup.
