The Boston Bruins have been down 3 games to 1 in 21 playoff series in their long and storied history. Unfortunately, the B's have lost every single one of those series. Not a very good omen for the Bruins as they enter Game 7 on Thursday night.
Fortunately, the Bruins will be playing on their home ice in front of 18,000 rabid fans. The TD Banknorth Garden will be rocking like the old Boston Garden tomorrow night, and I expect the B's to play 2009 Bruins hockey and take the series. Tim Thomas has been exceptional in each of the past two games. He withstood a barrage of shots and pressure from the Canes' during last nights' third period. With an ailing defense, Thomas will need to do more of the same tomorrow night in what should be a thrilling hockey game.
While I expect the Bruins to win, I don't think Carolina will go down quietly. The Canes did not give up after going down 4-1 in Game 6, but continued to work hard and pelt shots at Thomas. Two of the keys to last nights' game was their penalty kill and discipline. They'll need both to win Game 7, especially discipline. I would, however, like to see the Bruins take care of Scott Walker towards the end of the game if they have a comfortable lead.
I guess we'll just have to wait for tomorrow night to see if history repeats itself. I don't think it will!
