Boston can close it out tonight after a lackluster performance in Game 5 as the Bruins lost to the Maple Leafs by a 4-3 score. Toronto has lost its last four after a win and still is 19-42 its last 61 games against teams with winning percentages of .600 or better. Boston has won 24 of its last 33 when playing with one day of rest, and the Bruins are 36-15 against the Eastern Conference. Tuukka Rask had an off game on Saturday allowing four goals, but he still has plenty of playoff experience and owns a 2.36 goals-against average on the season with a 34-14-5 record. The Bruins were overconfident on their home ice in Game 5, similar to their last regular season game when they lost to the Panthers. Look for Boston to bounce back with the win tonight. Play the Bruins as my NHL Playoffs Round 1 Game of the Year.
