NHL Great Predicts Maple Leafs Could Get Past Toughest Playoff Opponent
NHL great Wendel Clark has a bold prediction about who could take down the Boston Bruins in the playoffs, and it's exactly who everyone wants to see the Bruins play.
Playoff Rivalry
In an interview with David Amber of Sportsnet, Clark suggested that his former team could be the one that defeats the Bruins, who sit at 64-12-5 this season.
Clark had 3 stints with the Leafs, playing a total of 12 seasons with Toronto over his prestigious career.
Can the Leafs Do It?
Toronto certainly has the skill to defeat the Bruins, as their team is stacked with Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, John Tavares, Ryan O'Reilly, Morgan Rielly, Jake Muzzin, William Nylander, and Ilya Samsonov. It is just a matter of whether or not they can execute.
The Bruins set a new NHL record for most wins in a season after breaking the Detroit Red Wings' record of 62 wins during the 1995-96 season.
Boston has a chance to set that new record to 65 wins in a matchup against the Montreal Canadiens tomorrow night at 7:00 PM.
