However, it might not be all gloom for the Maple Leafs. They have been in this position against the Bruins in recent memory. The Maple Leafs have battled back against the Bruins in this position to force a Game 7 twice before, in the 2013 Conference Quarterfinals and the 2018 First Round matchups. Plus the Bruins last year, blew a 3-1 lead in the first round against the Florida Panthers.
