The Toronto Maple Leafs have been eliminated from the NHL Playoffs, losing game 7 in Boston 5-1.
The Bruins will now play the Columbus Blue Jackets in round 2.
Toronto was the last Canadian team to be bumped, extending the streak to 26 years that the Stanley Cup has been won by a team not in Canada.

The Canadian Cancer Society’s Mudmoiselle is Saturday. The Mudmoiselle Obstacle Course is a 5K stretch of the muckiest, filthiest, slimiest mud.
Registration is at Bayside Brewery followed by a bus ride to C.M. Wilson Conservation Area for the “run”.
A new loonie was introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint yesterday.
The new one-dollar coin pays tribute to Parliament’s passing of legislation that “initiated the decriminalization of homosexuality in Canada”; a key milestone for lesbian, gay, transgender, queer and two-spirited people in the country. The coin celebrates “50 years of progress for LGBTQ2 Canadians.”
There are two versions. The collector’s edition of the coin is a large, almost pure (99.99%) silver coin. It depicts two faces and a large, flowing rainbow. The second version, which is now in circulation, is the typical loonie-gold coin, worth $1. It features the same image, but in the gold colouring of every other loonie.
A new $1 coin marks an important milestone for LGBTQ2 rights in Canada. Though the quest for #Equality continues, we are proud to mark the 50 years of progress in the journey to equal rights for LGBTQ2 Canadians. #RightToLove Visit https://t.co/d76rz8T9Dc pic.twitter.com/FvjZsL6e0V

The guy who keeps winning record amounts on Jeopardy! just passed $1 million.
James Holzhauer is only the second person to do it. He won his 14th game yesterday, bringing his total to $1,061,554.
Ken Jennings won more than $2.5 million in 2004, but it took him 74 straight wins to get there.
