Monday night's clash between Tampa Bay and Boston was a perfect example of a good team getting lucky. The Bruins triumphed 3-1 over the Lightning despite being outshot and out hustled. The final score was deceptive, Boston was under fire all night but Thomas came up big as expected.
The Black and Gold have got tons of character and we think the next game will be the last for this series. These guys will not let the Bolts off the hook and Tampa could come unglued in the next game if Boston manages to get an early lead. The young stars playing for the Lightning don't seem to want it bad enough right now. Bergenheim is done and Stamkos and the other Bolt hotshots have yet to produce to the level expected. In order to beat Boston they are going to have to score a ton of goals against Thomas and that will be almost impossible. Tim Thomas is a clutch player and he is going to want to play for a ring. He can taste it !!!
Now a Bruins versus Canucks final seems a definite possibility. Vancouver has got the Sharks number and we don't see them letting up. Joe Thornton fell to Raffi Thomas late in the last Sharks encounter but he has stated that he will play in the matchup on Tuesday. This will not be enough for the Sharks. The Sedins and Salo have come alive and the hustle of Torres and Kesler will close the book on San Jose.
