The anticipated face-off between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins is drawing significant attention, not just for the game itself, but for the ongoing verbal sparring between Ryan Reaves of the Leafs and Brad Marchand of the Bruins.
Ryan Reaves and Brad Marchand, both renowned in the NHL for their sharp wit and physical style of play, have been engaging in a bit of media back-and-forth recently. Reaves, known for his tough persona, brought up a previous comment from Marchand about the disparity in their salaries.
The upcoming game at Scotiabank Arena takes on extra significance as both the Leafs and Bruins are leading contenders in the Atlantic Division. The Leafs are expected to start Joseph Woll in goal, facing off against Linus Ullmark, the current Vezina Trophy holder, from the Bruins.
