Game 4, The Fulcrum


Tonight is one of those games that can either bring hope to Boston, or kick Beantown fans square in the pants. It's exactly the cliche of a 2-1 hockey game, the next goal becomes the most crucial goal of all. If the Bruins want any chance of a possible upset in this series they have to win tonight, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. To do that, they will have to do more of the same from the last two games. They can't chase the Habs cycle around, and they have to play an air tight defensive system to shut down the speedy Canadiens. The line-up will remain the same and will look something like this (without Phil Kessel once again, who is a healthy scratch).

Lucic-Savard-Murray
Sturm-Krejci-Axelsson
Schaefer-Metropolit-Nokelainen
Reich-Sobotka-Thornton

Chara-Ward
Ference-Wideman
Stuart-Hnidy

Thomas

I can't stand the build up of excitement for this game. Anyone who goes to the game tonight better be extremely loud for the Bruins all game long, no excuses. This team needs as much home ice advantage as humanly possible. I can not wait for this one to begin.

not scoring on the great chances we had in the first period and a frickin pathetic powerplay all series long is our downfall. ya know i love the increased hitting but it doesnt do ya any good when you cant score at all.
