The Boston Bruins have been a tough opponent for the Maple Leafs in recent years, going 4-0 against them in the 2023-24 regular season and knocking them out of the playoffs in the first round. It seems some Leafs players are feeling that weight, as seen in a recent TSN BarDown quiz about goal horns that led to a hilarious moment with Nylander.
When the host gave a hint saying, "You hear this one the most," teammates Matthew Knies, Mitch Marner, John Tavares, and Auston Matthews quickly realized the answer was their own goal horn. But Nylander didn't realize it and guessed Boston, then burst into laughter when the right answer was revealed.
The moment was a hit with fans on social media, with many enjoying the lighthearted moment from Nylander also known as Willy Styles. Still, it highlighted Boston's dominance to the point where a Leafs player instinctively thought of them first. Earlier in the quiz, Nylander hinted at this when players discussed opposing goal horns. While most expressed their dislike of hearing them on the road, Nylander joked, "We hear Boston's a lot," showing just how strong the rivalry has become.
Overall, the quiz was all in good fun, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. But don't be surprised if the Bruins' social media team has something to say when these teams face off again.
