It's easy, and only takes a few moments.the bruins have shaky defensemen? no offense captain but you may be insano.If the Bs shaky defensemen allow the BHs as many point-blank shots & rebounds as they did aginst PitsDirt,
they will lose.
If the same defensemen turn clearing the puck out of their own zone into one Chinese fire drill after another,
they will lose.
If the Bs forwards are not strong on the forecheck and do not attack the puck as if their lives depended on it,
they will lose.
If, OTOH, the defensmen allow Rask clear looks at shots & eliminate rebounds, and move the puck crisply
& decisively out of their zone and through center ice,
and if the forwards win the battle of the boards & take advantage of the few opportunities they will have,
then the Bs have a chance.

Canadian former professional ice hockey player Phil Esposito salutes as he walks on ice during the starting ceremony for an exhibition ice hockey game to mark the anniversary of USSR-Canada 1972 summit series in Moscow, February 25, 2012. (REUTERS/Grigory Dukor) You would think Phil Esposito, hockey man, might be more than a little pumped that his Boston Bruins are playing his Chicago Blackhawks for the Stanley Cup.
Well, think again.
"You want to know the truth," said Esposito, the fifth-leading goal scorer in hockey history. "This series doesn't mean s*** to me. "I have no feeling for these teams. There's nothing emotional about it. They both got rid of me, traded me. So screw them.
"I didn't choose to leave Chicago. I didn't choose to leave Boston. I signed a contract in Boston for less money than I could have gotten from going to the WHA. I could have made millions doing that. And you know how they repaid me? Three weeks later, they traded me (to the New York Rangers)."
Anybody here old enough to remember this:
Esposito brothers split on how much Boston-Chicago final means | Hockey | Sports | Toronto Sun
the bruins are controlling the tempo of the game. that's huge.
and give one right back
