Bruins Set up Penguins Showdown
The Boston Bruins sealed a Eastern Conference Final appearence with an impressive 3-1 win over the New York Rangers in Game 5 at TD Garden last night! After the Rangers win in the previous game and their near meltdown in the previous series against Toronto, there were no doubt a nerves jangling in the Boston camp as a potential comeback was feared!
When Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi scored on a power play mid way through the 1st period, Bruins fans must have feared the worst was coming! But luckily Boston responded early in the 2nd period through Torey Krug scored a great slap shot on their own power play and Gregory Campbell helped ease worries six minutes from the end as he beat Lundqvist to but the Bruins in front 2-1!
The 3rd period was an action packed affair with Tuukka Rask making several vital stops, including a breakaway effort by Rangers Captain Ryan Callahan! But in the final minute Campbell calmly slid the puck into an empty net to seal a great victory and send the Rangers home empty handed!
The 3rd/4th Lines from the Bruins have been proving the difference for the Bruins in this series and Torey Krug has proved to be an inspired find for them, its hard to believe he was playing for AHL team Province Bruins only days before the Semi Final took place- with 4 goals in his first 5 games, he is one to watch out for!
Boston has shown before that they can come from nothing to win a Stanley Cup (just ask Canucks fans!) but will a match up with favourites Pittsburgh prove a step too far?
