Pat Maroon sounds off on the upcoming series against the Leafs
Pat Maroon, the newest goon for the Boston Bruins, didn't mince words when sizing up the playoffs kicking off this weekend against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
This is the time to see who has it and who doesn't, Maroon emphasized, setting the tone from the start.
After recently returning from injury, Maroon's presence could be huge for the Bruins, especially against rivals like the Toronto Maple Leafs.
As the postseason unfolds, all eyes will be on Maroon and the Bruins to see how they handle the pressure.
It's the best time of the year. There's a lot of excitement in this room. We're all looking forward to it. It's going to be a great challenge for us. This is where we all put our work boots on, and we come together as a group,
.
This showdown against the Leafs marks the fourth time since 2013 that the Bruins and Leafs have clashed in the first round. The Bruins have won each series in seven games, all at TD Garden. They've also won their last seven meetings against the Lesfs over the last two years. From epic comebacks to hard-fought victories, these matchups have become synonymous with playoff drama. Notably, captain Brad Marchand stands as the sole player to have appeared in all four series.
