During the first-round playoff series between the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs, Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk had an inkling about who was going to come out on top.

Despite a furious comeback attempt from a 3-1 series deficit by the Maple Leafs, and a Game 7 that required overtime, Tkachuk always thought the Bruins would ultimately take the series and set up a second-round showdown with Florida.

Keep up with the latest news and analysis as the Florida Panthers battle the Boston Bruins in Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Full coverage

“Without this coming out too badly, I think we all knew it was probably going to be Boston the way that series was going.” Tkachuk told the media Sunday when asked about Saturday’s Game 7.

“I think throughout the whole series we were probably expecting they were going to come out and win it one way or another.”

Tkachuk’s hunch was proven right, of course, with the Bruins winning Saturday’s Game 7 courtesy of a David Pastrnak series winner in the first couple minutes of overtime.

These two teams aren’t without their first-round playoff history. In 2018, the squads met with the Bruins coming out on top in seven games. In 2019, they met and once again the Bruins needed seven games to vanquish their division rival.

And well before both those series, before the current iteration of the “Core 4” Maple Leafs came to be, Boston and Toronto met in a seven-game series with Maple Leafs losing Game 7 in heart-breaking fashion after squandering a 4-1 third-period lead.

Losing to the Bruins in seven games obviously isn’t anything new to the Maple Leafs and their fans, but this year it may have felt a bit different.

This time, it was the Maple Leafs attempting a comeback. This time, past Bruins anchors Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci were not on the ice. This time, the Maple Leafs could seemingly keep their opponent off the scoreboard. This time, the Bruins were coming off blowing a 3-1 first-round series lead the year before to Tkachuk’s Panthers.

In sports however, some things do not change, and Tkachuk banked on that thought.

Now the Panthers will take on the Bruins in the playoffs for the second consecutive year, having used last year’s first-round win to springboard a run to the Stanley Cup Final.

Game 1 of Panthers-Bruins goes Monday on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT from Sunrise, Fla.

Another gutting Game 7 loss demands cuts to Maple Leafs’ core

2024 Stanley Cup Series Preview: Panthers vs. Bruins

Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Easton Cowan has led the London Knights to the Ontario Hockey League final.

Cowan scored twice and added an assist as London beat the Saginaw Spirit 4-2 on Sunday to win the Wayne Gretzky Trophy as the OHL’s Western Conference champions.

London won the best-of-seven series 4-2.

The Knights become the first team to win back-to-back Wayne Gretzky Trophies since the franchise last did so in 2012 and 2013. 

“We had a total team game going,” said Knights head coach Dale Hunter. “Our big guns came out and played really well and the young guys who came in and filled spots played really well too.”

Sam O’Reilly and Jackson Edward scored the other goals for the Knights, while Michael Simpson made 33 saves for the win.

Joey Willis and Jorian Donovan replied for Saginaw as Nolan Lalonde stopped 22-of-35 shots in net.

Saginaw’s OHL playoff run came to an end, but the Spirit are the host team of the Memorial Cup starting May 24. 

Neither team scored on the power play Sunday. London went 0 for 1 with the man advantage and the Spirit were 0 for 3.

Also Sunday, Owen Van Steensel had two goals and two assists as the North Bay Battalion forced a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference final with an 8-1 win over the Oshawa Generals.

Sandis Vilmanis scored and had two assists for North Bay. Dalyn Wakely, Brice Cooke, Liam Arnsby, Justin Ertel and Jacob Therrien rounded out the attack.

Ben Danford was the lone scorer for the Generals.

Oshawa hosts the Battalion on Monday in the deciding game of the series with the winner meeting London for the OHL title.

Whitehorse and Fredericton, N.B., may not have the population bases of other Canadian cities, but they do have major reasons to celebrate a stirring hockey triumph on Sunday.

Gavin McKenna, the 16-year-old star from Yukon, and Gardiner MacDougall, the coach of the dynastic University of New Brunswick men’s hockey program, completed outstanding seasons by helping Canada win gold at the world under-18 championship in Espoo, Finland.

McKenna had three goals and an assist as Canada rallied to beat the United States 6-4 in the final. MacDougall, meanwhile, capped a perfect season and extended his personal win streak to an astounding 56 games, per U Sports insider Ben Steiner, after guiding UNB to the national university title earlier this year in Toronto.

“The best feeling in the world,” McKenna, considered a strong candidate to go first overall in the 2026 NHL Draft, told IIHF.com.

“You know, it’s a family in that room there. (Goaltender Carter) George kept us in it when we needed him. And just from our defence to our offence, we were all clicking, and that’s an unbelievable feeling. I’ll remember this forever.”

McKenna finished the tournament with 20 points in seven games, just behind scoring leader and tourney MVP James Hagens (22 points in seven games), who is projected to go first overall in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Picked first overall in the 2022 WHL Draft by Medicine Hat, McKenna had 34 goals and 63 assists for 97 points in 61 games in his first full season for the Tigers this year.

MacDougall, a native of Prince Edward Island, won his ninth national title and second in a row at UNB this year when his team didn’t allow a goal in three games at the Canadian championship tournament in Toronto.

Just two years ago, MacDougall took over the Memorial Cup host Saint John Sea Dogs after they were eliminated in the QMJHL playoffs and guided them to a national junior title as interim head coach.

Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek reported last month that the QMJHL’s Moncton Wildcats reached out to MacDougall to discuss their vacant head coaching role.
