Playoff hockey is officially underway, and tonight's matchup between the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs has certainly been entertaining. When Pat Maroon went after Timothy Liljegren, throwing him directly over the boards and into the Boston Bruins bench, we got a glimpse of what will be an incredible series.
The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs have quite the history, as divisional rivals and longtime foes. The Boston Bruins have gotten the better of the Maple Leafs in recent history, and Pat Marron is certainly trying to keep the tide turned that way.
Acquired from the Minnesota Wild at the trade deadline, Maroon returned from injury last week, just in time for the playoffs. He has definitely had an immediate impact!
