JUST IN: Coach praises rival

Tonight, the Boston Bruins visit the Toronto Maple Leafs for their second game of the season. Considering that they won against a Columbus team that had a two-goal lead after scoring five unanswered goals, the Bruins are on a high right now, and are ready to undertake the Leafs and their newfound star, Auston Matthews.

Mike Babcock gave a press conference this morning, and praised both Claude Julien and Brad Marchand.

Leafs Head Coach Mike Babcock on Marchand's game in Columbus: "I thought Marchy was a star. I thought he was unbelievable."

Two teams who've had a history against each other, namely the 2013 Playoffs that the Bruins won in the last few minutes of game seven, are going up against each other. As much as they respect each other, it's on hold now once the puck drops.

Enjoy the game, fellow fans!
