How far will the Boston Bruins go?

As the teams are competing to win the Stanley Cup, NHL fans are in anticipation for who will win the trophy. Based on how they are currently playing, the Boston Bruins will be crowned the champion. Their biggest obstacle right now is Brandon Holtby, the goalie of the Washington Capitals.

Holtby is playing well against the Bruins and on Thursday in the Bruins' loss he made 44 saves and only gave up one shot. However, on Saturday they overcame their difficulties and Tyler Seguin scored the game winner in overtime. They won in overtime with a shot that has low odds of happening again, so they need to have a more aggressive offense. They shouldn't be tripping or hooking their opponents but, keeping the game intensity will put a lot of pressure on Holtby.

With the series tied at 3-3 their next game will have a lot of pressure but, the Bruins have home field advantage they will be playing at TD Garden. If they can encourage themselves and play strong defensively like they did last Saturday, they can surpass the Capitals and move farther into the Stanley Cup.
