Break Out the Broom Sticks

The Boston Bruins will look to finish the job tonight when they square off against the Philidelphia Flyers in game 4. To the Bruins, this 3-0 series lead is all too familiar. Last season, the heavily favored Bruins took a 3-0 series lead. We all know how that turned out. Head coach Claude Julien jokingly told the Boston Globe, "I don’t think there are too many people who aren’t aware of it." Post-season hero Nathan Horton refuses to allow last season's dreadful end to effect them. Horton, who was on the Florida Panthers at this time last year, told the Boston Globe, "Whatever happened last year was last year. It doesn't mean anything to us now." These strong words by Horton has given the Boston faithful some hope. Hope that their season will not crumble before their eyes like last year. The Bruins will not let the Flyers back into the series and will finish them tonight. Final Score: Boston 4- Philidelphia 2.

Players to Watch:

1. Tim Thomas- Boasts a .935 save percentage in the playoffs thus far.

2. Chris Kelly- Kelly has had a knack for scoring goals at the right time this playoffs.

3. Daniel Briere- In 10 games played this post-season, he has recorded 7 goals.
