(AP) -- The Toronto Maple Leafs are well aware of their unflattering history. The longest current Stanley Cup drought among teams that have won it at least once. No playoff series victories in almost a decade. A 1-8 record in series when falling behind 3-1 and not overcoming such a deficit in roughly 71 years.
Facing a Bruins team that is no stranger to Game 7 makes Monday night's win-or-go-home matchup in Boston all the more interesting.
Toronto entered this Eastern Conference quarterfinal as the underdog in its first postseason appearance since 2004, when it defeated Ottawa in seven games before falling to Philadelphia in six in the second round.
