William Nylander and the Toronto Maple Leafs have struggled against the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, despite their best efforts.

These two teams face off against each other a lot. Typically, it goes seven games, but the Leafs always seem to be on the short end of the stick. As you can imagine, this is starting to get very old. This was especially true this past postseason as Nylander and the Leafs lost the Bruins in yet another seven-game series. It was an awful situation and the team is now looking to get one over on their rival.

Recently, the rivalry was explored in the brand new Amazon Prime series, "Faceoff: Inside the NHL." The series gives some insight into the league and the playoffs. In a recent meeting between David Pastrnak and Nylander, Pastrnak noted just how fun their matchup are. Nylander had a blunt response that was quite vulnerable in nature.

«Yeah, that's because you always beat us. Every time we've lost, it has been so sh*t.»

This is solid proof that the Maple Leafs are absolutely frustrated and downright fed up with losing to the Bruins all of the time. It must be getting old, and the Maple Leafs want to change that. This season, the Leafs seem to be the better team. However, the playoffs change everything.
