On Friday night, the Bruins beat the Carolina Hurricanes in the first game of the second round. They did it with poise and intensity. The Bruins came out strong in the first period and entered the second tied 1-1. The first goal for the Bruins was scored by defenseman Aaron Ward. Marc Savard scored twice, and Michael Ryder continues to dazzle in the playoffs with another goal. Tim Thomas made 26 saves between the pipes.
If they can continue to be brilliant like this is the upcoming games, they could possibly win the series in 4 games again. But I don't want to get ahead of myself, it's only game 2. It's really amazing to see the Bruins play like the Bruins of the past.
There was some speculation that because of the 11 day rest, the Bruins might have been rusty. Maybe there was a little bit of rust in the first period, but they got rid of any as the game went on. If things couldn't get any better for the Bruins, Claude Julien was named a finalist for the Jack Adams Award for NHL coach of the year.
