Bruins Slammed By NHL Fans for Failing to Close Out Series vs. Maple Leafs in G6 Loss

For the second straight season, the Boston Bruins have blown a 3-1 first-round series lead.

The Bruins missed their second straight chance to eliminate the Toronto Maple Leafs as they lost 2-1 in Thursday night's Game 6.

Both teams will now have the chance to advance to the second round with a win Saturday in Boston.

This marks the fourth straight time a series between the Bruins and Leafs has gone to seven games.

The Maple Leafs have scored two or fewer goals in 11 of their last 12 playoff games.
