The Boston Bruins swept the Pittsburgh Penguins in 4 games
to win the Eastern Conference last night.
The scoreless first period was filled with back and forth play, each
team winning power plays which were unsuccessful. Sidney Crosby attempted to save his team from
elimination but he played his 4th straight scoreless game
of this series. Adam McQuaid scored the third period goal that won the game for
the Bruins. Tuukka Rask’s outstanding
performance during this series played a crucial role in wining, posting
shutouts in Game 1 and the Game 4 clincher. Rask only allowed two goals during
all 4 games to the Penguins, the highest scoring team in the NHL. The Penguins
had chances during this game but Rask was able to make the big saves to defend
the net. The Penguins have reached the end of their road for this post season
but the Bruins will move on to the Stanley Cup final and play the winner of the
Western Conference. The Western Conference will play Game 5 tonight, where the
Chicago Blackhawks lead the series against the L.A Kings 3-1 going into tonight’s
game.
