The Boston Bruins would tell you it wasn't pretty by any stretch but it is real sweet as they swept the heavily favored Pittsburgh Penguins to advance to the "Fight for Lord Stanley". The Bruins get another shot at the Cup as they won it all in 2011. Heads shall roll and will roll in the 'Burgh as now the Steel City turns to Buccos Biz on deck and Steelers Biz in the hole.

The Bruins get the game-winner at the 5 minute mark in the 3rd frame from Defenseman Adam McQuaid. The Bruins throughout the whole series got the breaks but also created the breaks. The Pens always seem to be a day late and a dollar short with all that Talent. The Bruins "D" outplayed the "Happy Feet" O and that's what it came down period game after game.

Spokes Net Minder Tukkaa Rask was lights out the entire series as in game 4 he stopped 24 of 24 and the Pens were "making it rain" around Rask late in the final period. Not to be outdone Tomas Vokoun was just as good as he went through five periods in the game three loss and tonight stopped 21 of 22. McQuaid Slapper went top shelf on the stick side and that was tough to get to for any Net Minder.

Now the Bruins will wait for the winner between the Defending Stanley Cup Champions Monarchs of L.A. or the Indian Head of Chi City as they commence Saturday Night at the Madhouse on Madison for Game 5. Hawks are up in that Series 3-1 and they can clinch a berth in the "Fight for Lord Stanley".

As for the Pens a lot of time to get some answers to there questions as they were all in getting Inginla and Morrow among others to add to that star-studded affair. Expect the Pens to make a change at the Top this week but I think they should wait until the Smoke clears as they have had a ton if success with Lead Man Dan Bylsma and his Reels Tony Granato and Todd Reirden. It's just "A bad day for Ice Games in he 'Bugh".
