The real reason Leafs fans want no part of the Bruins is their playoff history.
The winner of Sunday's Game 7 between the Bruins and Florida Panthers will play the Leafs in the second round. If the Bruins win, they'll have home ice advantage. If the Panthers win, the Leafs would have home ice advantage in Round 2.
But the real reason Leafs fans want no part of the Bruins is their playoff history. The B's defeated the Leafs in the first round of the 2013, 2018 and 2019 playoffs. The Bruins play very well against the Leafs in the regular season, too, including a 3-1-0 record in the 2022-23 season series. The Bruins also are the league's best team and set records for the most wins and points in a season. The Panthers, for many reasons, are a much more favorable matchup for the Leafs.
