The Toronto Maple Leafs fell in agonizing fashion in overtime of game seven, and now Matthew Tkachuk takes a major shot at the team after another failure.

With the biggest market in the NHL and some of the loudest fans in the league, many people wait every year for the Toronto Maple Leafs to fail in the playoffs, and apparently it's not just fans. When asked about the second round matchup with the Boston Bruins, Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk couldn't help but take a shot at the Maple Leafs in the process;

Tkachuk: "Without this coming out too badly, I think we all knew it was probably going to Boston the way that series was going...I think throughout the whole series we were probably expecting they were going to come out and win it one way or another."




Despite taking game seven all the way to overtime, Tkachuk remained confident that the Bruins would be their opponents in round two, as he joins the line of people to take shots at Toronto, with Brad Marchand doing so in his post-game interview as well.


It's safe to say that the Leafs remain one of the most hated teams in the NHL, and now, the team may have a new enemy to cheer against when the Panthers and the Bruins do battle in round two of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
