How on Earth did this happen? Says Bruins nation gleefully.
How on Earth did this happen? Says Penguin nation miserably. Is there a Penguin nation?
The Bruins took game two of the Eastern Conference Finals last night in a score that looks very much like what most people thought a Penguins victory would look like. 6-1. That’s Six goals for the defense first Bruins to One goal for the offensive juggernaut Penguins. But… How?… What?… Who?…
The Bruins have a two games to none lead in the series. They are two wins away from going back to the Stanley Cup Finals! (They are also four measly losses away from going home for the summer. I’m not going to be the overly optimistic guy who jinxes things for Bruins fans everywhere. Nope, not me. Nothing but cautious optimism from this guy) Brad Marchand scored 28 seconds into the game and it was all downhill from there for Pittsburgh. They pulled Vokoun after three goals and then saw Fleury give up three more. There was exactly one downside to this game from a Boston standpoint. That chump Tuukka Rask let in a goal. Useless! Trade his ass! (that is sarcasm. One goal in two games against this Penguins lineup? I’d be more apt to put him in the hall of fame than trade him)
But… but… but… the Penguins were supposed to destroy us. It was supposed to be ugly for Bruins fans. Instead it’s been nothing but glory and tales to tell the grandchildren.
In other words, it’s been wicked fun!
Now we come home for games three and four.
Go Bruins! Keep it up! Beat the Penguins! Do it quick because our collective stomachs can’t handle a swing in momentum!
GO BRUINS!
