Leafs vs Bruins

The Bruins, Marchand especially, love taking penalties so this could be a good work out for the Maple Leafs power play.

Halak, who is technically the Bruins back up is starting tonight, and he’s having a much better season than Rask.

The game is at seven, it’s Hockey Night in Canada.

Let’s take the W in Boston and show them why the arena is named the Toronto Dominion.
