You would think the Boston Bruins' dominance on the ice against the Toronto Maple Leafs would be enough.
After all, the Bruins' 2–1 overtime victory Saturday evening in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs' first round polished off their seventh straight postseason series win over the Maple Leafs. Toronto hasn't beaten Boston in a playoff series since 1959—eight years before its most recent Stanley Cup title.
However, the Bruins took matters a step further after right wing David Pastrňák's winner. As Boston celebrated its triumph on the ice, the operators of TD Garden's Jumbotron gleefully showed footage of a defeated Maple Leaf Square.
Maple Leaf Square, as the name implies, sits adjacent to Scotiabank Arena and is a popular rallying point for Toronto sports fans (basketball-savvy readers may know it as Jurassic Park).
Given the imbalance between Boston and Toronto's sports success this century, it seems fair to ask: haven't the latter's citizens suffered enough?
