Bruins close out Flyers with 5-1 win; Bergeron has concussion...


I glad that I can finally say that the Boston Bruins have made the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 1992. Yeah I do remember the Bruins that year. Last year the Boston Bruins had a comfortable series lead of three games to nothing and were leading in game seven 3-0 when the roof came down on top of them.

So the Boston Bruins finally exercised the demons of last season and now will move on to the Eastern Conference Finals where they will play the Tampa Bay Lightning… I think that it's safe to say that this season was different than last, there have been no four game collapses (to date) and the Bruins put their boot on the neck of the Flyers and this time they didn’t take that foot off… This year’s team seems like it has something to prove to both themselves and to the fans. I think it’s safe to say that, the Bruins have played with a chip on their shoulder all season long. I would also describe this years Bruins team as being very gusty and a hard working team and after two rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs… Now we are down to two teams remaining teams in the eastern division.

Last night’s series win didn’t come without a cost as the Bruins leading scorer during the Stanley Cup Playoffs Patrice Bergeron (2g-10a-12pts) went down with an undisclosed upper body injury which today is being reported as being a concussion by Steve Silva and Kevin Paul Dupont. So Boston Bruins fans are now holding their breath that Bergeron won’t be out very long.
