Boston stays alive, blanks Carolina 4-0

Well, the Bruins took care of business tonight against the Hurricanes and the series will be extended to a sixth game. Game six will be Tuesday night down in Carolina.This will be the critical game for the Bruins.

Boston plays very well at home, so a win in game six could mean a win in the series. Boston has played terribly in Carolina in their two tries. However, Boston should have the momentum after rolling the 'Canes, 4-0.
Boston controlled the play in game four and really contained the neutral zone. The work along the boards was much improved and the defensive effort was back.

Carolina is a real tough team to take care of at home, so Boston will certainly have their hands full in game six. That being said, Boston took care of business tonight and will live to fight another day.

We'll see what happens Tuesday night Boston. One down, two to go.
