Toronto at Boston

The Boston Bruins are a public team, which helps run the line up. But in spite of that, 75% of the public are backing them in Game One. This is a team that played great early in the season and looked like a Stanley Cup contender, but then things changed. Over their last 22 games, which this season is the second half, Boston finished a disappointing 9-13. That included just 5-5 in their last 10 at home. Toronto has come a long way to be here, as the Maple Leafs' last playoffs appearance was during the 2003-04 season. They were a better team than Boston down the stretch as they finished 9-6 over their last 15. Boston is just 2-7 in their last nine, which includes 0-4 vs. a winning team. The door is open for the dog here to make some noise, so play on Toronto.
