The Bruins are going to the Stanley Cup Finals...

As a Boston Bruins fan, I have to say that this is one of the most memorable seasons in a very long time, it had been a couple of decades of mediocrity for the Boston Bruins as they had not been in the Stanley Cup Finals since the 1990 season when they lost to the Edmonton Oilers in 5 games… Former Edmonton Oilers’ forward Craig Simpson (father of current Fighting Sioux defenseman Dillon Simpson) scored the game winning goal for the Edmonton Oilers to clinch the Stanley Cup against the Boston Bruins.
