When the Boston Bruins won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals by dominating the second and third periods in a 4-2 victory, much of the postgame talk was how the Bruins were the dominant team and would roll in the Stanley Cup Final.
When the St. Louis Blues responded with a hard-hitting 3-2 overtime, the same experts said the Western Conference champions had gained control of the series.
Now that the Bruins played their best game to this point and overwhelmed the Blues 7-2 in Game 3 at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, it's clear that the series will be marked in the Bruins' favor.
