The Boston Bruins eliminated the Toronto Maple Leafs for the second year in a row and now move on to the Columbus Blue Jackets. 

It was a very emotionally draining series for both teams in the first round with lots of hard decisions. 

The Bruins and Leafs went back and forth with the Bruins winning the last two games to take home the series. 

Head coach Bruce Cassidy revealed what he told his players. 


"I think the players in the room will have a much bigger voice in terms of what your demeanor needs to be," Cassidy said before Game 7. "As coaches, we've tried to prepare them for a situation only, things that are going to happen on the ice. What (Toronto) did well in Game 6, we'll try to correct. What we did well, we want to keep building on. Once they get on the ice, I believe our leadership group will have our guys in a good place. So I don't want to over-message, other than, ‘Listen, you've got to enjoy the moment. You've got to play. You're going to make a mistake, and you've got to put it behind you. You've got to keep playing. You have to have more will than the guy across from you.' That's pretty much the message we give them."

Now it's ready for round two!
