Then you have Toronto. But toughness isn't what beat us. Habs played a passive and uninspired game, and it was already 0-4 when Leafs started to goon it up. With a close score, Orr and McLaren wouldn't have played at all in the 3rd.
Basically, they key to victory against the NE is to work harder, not to get tougher.

The Habs did not dominate Boston, they played a soft perimeter games, a lot of weak shots from the outside.
