The Bruins rivalry seems to bring the best out of the Leafs, from Randy Carlyle’s coaching and matchup strategies to their amped-up physical play; the Leafs employ their speed game well against the Bruins (giving up another two-goal lead aside). Nice result to wrap up 2014 with a welcomed return to the lineup for Uncle Leo.
Happy New Year’s, MLHS.
