When the Toronto Maple Leafs lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 Sunday you might have heard that roar of approval coming from Boston Bruins camp. Toronto's loss means the B's finished #3 in their division and will play the Ottawa Senators in the first round of the playoffs.

The Maple Leafs are the wildcard team and get #1 Washington in the first round.

The Sens will be no picnic for the Bruins, Ottawa went 3-0-1 against the B's. But most Bruins fans would rather play them than face the Capitals.

The series starts Wednesday night...
