From kristen_shilton: Leafs hope Game 7 experience finally pays off. MORE:
Couple that with the confidence Toronto's gained from already winning two of three games on the road, and the past feels like it’s far back in the rear-view mirror.
Still, the Leafs’ history with Boston will play a huge role in the narrative of a potential loss. Since the franchise’s last playoff series win in 2004, the Leafs have been in the postseason four times, and lost to Boston in Game 7 twice . Tuesday’s Game 7 will be the 12th of Babcock's NHL career, and would be the first time he’s coached a team out of the first round since 2013. Babcock equated the pressure of this precipice for the Leafs with a television program that team president Brendan Shanahan was watching on Monday about cliff divers.
