Invigorated after Game 7 win, Bruins look to Blue Jackets
BOSTON — The Bruins needed performances from up and down their roster to outlast the Toronto Maples Leafs in yet another seven-game slugfest between the Original Six franchises.
Boston will literally have just a day to enjoy its 5-1 win over Toronto in Game 7 on Tuesday night, with their Eastern Conference semifinals matchup with Columbus set to open at TD Garden on Thursday night.
But that’s just fine with Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy.
“I don’t mind the quick turnaround necessarily when you’re playing well,” Cassidy said. “Our last two games we have played well. I thought the start of this series we had time off, we rested players. We had a couple of practices and all of a sudden maybe it’s too much information. I think they were overloading. This way they won’t be able to get so (overloaded).”
