-- The Bruins beat the Maple Leafs in Game 7 on Tuesday and Tom Brady was not only watching but was also commenting on the action on Twitter.
He told the Bruins to "pour it on" after the team took a 2-0 lead and then suggested Zdeno Chara could have a second career as a football player.
Let's Goooo B's! Pour it on now!

We'll return the favor at some point down the road. I thought it was outstanding. That's Game 7 playoff hockey for you right there." -- Bruce Cassidy, on the atmosphere at the TD Garden during Game 7
