I won't straight up accuse them of throwing games but they lost to one mediocre team and one bad team scoring 1 total goal. Did they at the very least not give 100% to play Toronto rather than Tampa Bay?
Indeed. Bruins turned up the effort and dominated Ottawa in the 3rd which shows the gap in teams. The question becomes if this switch is ready for round 1.The effort level was looooow the last two games. But, I wouldn’t read it as picking their opponent, more of a case of not getting up for a couple of meaningless games.

Feels like any team that has clinched and has nothing to play for, give minimal effort so they don't get hurt when the real season starts.The effort level was looooow the last two games.

I just gotta say the amount of narrative the Bruins threw their games as they wanted the Leafs due to viewing them as an easy out or something is the kind of bad vibes "We want Florida" gave if not worse.
If the Leafs eliminate the Bruins they will be clowned on even harder for that
I don't know if the Bruins really want the Leafs. If they lose they will never live it down.
Bruins fans are going to hate the Leafs at the end of the series the amount of pests and greasy guys we have who will throw casual elbows and be dirtbags.
At least your goons will show up to play, your core? not so much.
