On Saturday night, the Maple Leafs chose not to respond and the Bruins handedly defeated their rivals 5-1. Ahead of tonight's game two Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer, Ryan Reaves wasn't going to let the same thing happen twice. Instead of standing back Reavo decided to police the red line tonight in an attempt to show the Bruins that the Leafs mean business.
With Maroon returning from a back surgery that kept him out of action for months. It's unlikely that the two drop the gloves. But things are surely expected to get heated.
