The Boston Bruins played one of their best games in the NHL Playoffs this season as they secured a fully deserved win over the St. Louis Blues on the road and will now have an opportunity to win the Stanley Cup in front of their own fans. Boston goaltender Tuukka Rask was magnificent in the win.

Krug has a big week ahead of him
.@ToreyKrug has a busy few days ahead – and it's not just Game 7. His wife, Mel, is due with their first child in just over a week.

An astonishing save from Rask!
If you looked up insanity in the dictionary, this is probably what you'd see.

Bruins close to repeating the 2011 success
It is not often that teams which trail 3-2 in the Stanley Cup Finals end up with the trophy. However, the Boston Bruins were the last team to achieve that and it was in 2011.
The @NHLBruins can become the ninth team in NHL history to overcome a 3-2 series deficit in the #StanleyCup Final – another feat last achieved by them in 2011.
