Now this series has been up and down since the start. The B's lost game 1 looking overmatched throughout the game and the powerplay still look horrific as it has all playoffs. They took game 2 in the game that quickly became the Tyler Seguin show. The 19 year old kid has a 4 point second period(2g,2a) on the way to a 6-5 Boston win. The series moved to Tampa for game 3 where the Bruins won the game and took control of the series. They then took a quick 3-0 lead on Tampa in game 4 after one and appeared to have them by the throat. The Lightening squirmed out like St. Louis has been all series and eventually won the game 5-3. The B's took game 5 back at home with a solid 3-1 victory lead by goals by Brad Marchond to put the B's ahead for good at the end of the second period. The series turned back to Tampa for another high scoring battle last night with a 5-4 victory by Tampa.
They then resorted to the ultimate form of class and threw all of their plastic clappers at the Bruins as they left the ice and were offended when Nathan Horton squirted a few of them with a water bottle. Oh no not water! They can throw shit off Krejci's dome but if they shot with some water it is a hate crime. Tampa was a tough team to hate until that moment. Now it's on just in time for Game 7 tomorrow night.
The series seems ready to come down to a dramatic finish which hopefully will end in the Bruins favor to set up a Stanley Cup final series with the Vancouver Canucks who have the whole country of Canada behind them and are the favorites to beat whoever comes out of the East.
