Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins Prediction
I’m on the Bruins here. I just think that the Leafs are going to be a streaky team that we’re going to have to monitor over the course of the season. Add in the fact that the Bruins just seem to have the Maple Leafs’ number over the year, and I think the plus money is the play here.
