Boston Bruins vows to force Game 7 against Vancouver Canucks –NHL Playoffs Update
Boston Bruins will have a last chance to stay alive in the 2011 National Hockey League (NHL) Stanley Cup Finals’ series against Vancouver Canucks as they faceoff for the last time at the TD Center in Boston, Massachusetts, on Monday, June 13th,
in Game 6
Boston Bruins seems to have adopted an attacking strategy for Game 6.
"We need to get to the front of the net and win battles", Boston’s coach, Claude Julien, said. "If you're going to score goals, you have to win those battles and you have to put the pucks in the net and be there".
Since the series has been factored by home-ice advantage so far, the chances of Boston winning Game 6 against Vancouver look good.
Both teams have not been able to win a single game at the away stadium and thus far do not look at doing so either. This would mean that Boston Bruins will most probably win Game 6 but when the series returns to Vancouver, it will be a whole new story for
the American franchise.
Vancouver is not ready to go down that easily.
"Stats are for GMs and player agents; what matters is a win", Canucks’ defenseman, Kevin Bieksa, said. "During the regular season everyone is trying to get their stats, but in the playoffs, I can only speak for our team. Nobody could care about stats”.
It is safe to say that Boston will not let Canucks in on Game 6 easy. Having its first chance in 21 years is certainly enough to say that Bruins will give it everything for another Stanley Cup since 1972.
The team management has had enough of being out of the finals and now that they have finally got the opportunity, they’re pushing to grab it.
The highly anticipated Game 6 between Boston Bruins and Vancouver Canucks is set to kick off on Monday at the TD Center, where the Boston crowd will be a huge factor in the Eastern Conference champions’ winning chances and forcing a Game 7.
Remembering Bruins’ series against Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens, this team is certainly capable of handling the Game 7 pressure.
