Game 5 today of the Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Boston Bruins series is today, y’all, and that means the Bruins are going to be desperate to embarrass the Bolts at home and force a Game 6. Yesterday, GeoFitz spelled out what we need to turn the thumbscrews and deliver a pass to the next round in front of home fans. [Raw Charge]
The Lightning’s penalty kill has gone back to being an Achilles heel for them. They’ve done the work necessary to shut down the Bruins at even strength. In the past three games, of the six goals the Bruins have scored, only two have been at even strength.
