Brad Marchand added some salt to the Maple Leafs' wound.
For the fourth time since 2013, the Boston Bruins defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7 to win the first round. With it, they will now face off against the Florida Panthers in the second round.
This was a hard-fought and close series between these two Original Six rivals, and that was especially the case in Game 7. After an extremely tight three periods, David Pastrnak scored the series winner in overtime, much to the excitement of the TD Garden crowd.
Following the game, Bruins captain Brad Marchand was asked how the Bruins secured another Game 7 win against the Leafs. Marchand answered with the ultimate troll:
"Just BeLeaf."
While Marchand trolled the Maple Leafs, he later praised them for their hard-fought play in the series: "They're a hell of a team. We knew that they were gonna push, and they did. They played a hell of a series."
While Marchand threw in one last troll for this series, he clearly respected how hard the Maple Leafs played.
