Bruins, Shipping Back to Boston

It's hard to blame anyone who may not be watching the Bruin playoffs games. It's hard enough to find them on TV, and sadly the season was what it has been for years - mediocre. But still, this is the Bruins and Canadians. Two of the original six teams facing off in the playoffs, and also one of the oldest, and most storied, rivalries in sports. This series deserves it's earned recognition.

These playoff games have been the most exciting hockey games I can remember watching. Fast action. Big hits. Few whistles. This is playoff hockey at it's best, and the Bruins have been simply remarkable.

Game 4, despite the loss, was an instant on-the-edge-of-your-seat classic literally right down to the last second. This series could be either way - it's that close. On Thursday night the Bruins forced a Game 6 to be played in Boston on Saturday night thanks to an impressive 5-1 win over the Habs.

It's not too late to catch the action (rightfully back on NESN HD). In the meantime, enjoy Thursday night's wrap-up:
