NHL 5-7

Last night the Boston Bruins put away the Columbus Blue Jackets winning 3-0 in Columbus to advance to the conference finals. Despite the score the game was very competitive in my eyes and both teams hit the goalpost/crossbar many times early on. The star of the game was Tuukka Rask , the goaltender for the Bruins who stopped all 39 shots he faced and was very calm and collected throughout the game. The Bruins will no go back home to face the Carolina Hurricanes in the best-of-7 game series with the winner advancing to the Stanley Cup finals. In the later game of the night the Colorado Avalance took down the San Jose Sharks in overtime 4-3 to force a game 7. Teams traded goals throughout the game, and Avalance player Gabriel Landeskog scored early in overtime to seal the game at home. Tonight’s lone game winner will advance to the conference final as the St.Louis Blues will host the Dallas Stars in a game 7 at 8pm. My prediction for this game is the St.Louis Blues winning 2-1. I think the Blues are the better team and will have the home crowd backing them up tonight.
