The Pittsburgh Penguins have to be wondering what happened. As a decisive underdog in the series, the Boston Bruins came into their building, and crushed them by a 9-1 score over both games to take a 2-0 series lead. We now heading to Boston for Game Three. The Penguins had not been shut out in over two years at home, and scored just 1 time in the two games. The Boston offense, perhaps brought to life, was playing second fiddle to the vaunted Penguin's attack, but certainly showed otherwise. The Bruins' offense has been under the radar and has averaged 4 goals per contest over their last eight playoffs games. The defensive play, and the work in front of the net has seen them allow just 2 goals over the last three games. Boston has it going on both ends, and the Penguins really having a hard time shaking off the big home loss where they are now 1-7 in their last eight following a home loss of 3 goals or more. The Bruins have proven to be a momentum-driven team at 26-9 in their last 35 after scoring 5 or more. Play on Boston.
