The Boston Bruins are in a commanding position in the Eastern Conference Finals. Tuukka Rask has been brilliant throughout the postseason, and he came up big again Tuesday night in Raleigh. Boston is now up 3-0 on the Carolina Hurricanes, and one more win will get the Bruins to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Tuukka Rask was incredible in the first period of Game 3. The Hurricanes had a myriad of chances, but he stopped them all. He eventually let in a softie in the second period, yet he quickly regained his composure en route to a 2-1 win for Boston. The Bruins are one win away from the Prince of Wales Trophy, and their third Stanley Cup Finals appearance this decade.
We found our guy.

The Buffalo Sabres have hired Ralph Krueger to be their new head coach. It’s been a dreary decade for the Sabres, and Krueger is looking to turn around a team that has some talent. Jack Eichel is one of the top young guns in the league, and 40-goal scorer Jeff Skinner could be back as well.

The Western Conference Finals switch from San Jose to St. Louis tonight, and the Blues fans are hoping to be singing “Gloria” by Laura Branigan at the end of the game. This has become the team’s unofficial fight song, and it has its roots in another sport.
