The view from Boston

The Boston Globe

Bruins do just enough to beat Kings

“The Kings make their hay as a heavy team, broad shouldered and fit for banging, but on Sunday afternoon, 3,000 miles east of the Staples Center, the tired Crowns served up only LA Lite.”

The Boston Herald

Tuukka Rask, Bruins stifle Kings in matinee victory

“Faced with playing the big, bruising Los Angeles Kings without David Pastrnak, their only reliable goalscorer this year, the B’s put forth one of their best defensive efforts of the season.”

CSNNE.com

No Pastrnak, No Problem

“So it was a Tuukka Rask shutout or bust for the offensively-challenged Bruins, who scored an early goal and gritted, grinded and gutted their way to a tight 1-0 shutout win against a tired Kings bunch that still kicked out their trademark heavy, physical style of play.”

SB Nation – Stanley Cup of Chowder

Bruins best Kings behind solid team defense

“In a physical contest, the Bruins were able to consistently win battles and limit the Kings’ ability to generate scoring chances. Los Angeles totaled a mere seven scoring chances during five on five play.”
