Eastern Conference Finals Game 1

Yeah I know this is a blog focusing mainly on the Pittsburgh Penguins, but hockey season does not stop once the Pens are eliminated from Stanley Cup contention.

Tbe Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning squared off for game one of the Eastern Conference Finals in Boston. This is a very interesting series, one of which may go the distance because the 1-3-1 deployed by the Bolts may stymie the Bruins if the Bolts manage to get a lead.
