The Bruins bandwagon may be a bit less crowded today but, hey, it's not like the Black and Gold were going to go 16-0 in the playoffs.
You just knew that after Friday night's weak effort the Carolina Hurricanes would play better on Sunday, and they did.
So now Bruins-Canes is shaping up as a long, hard-fought series. This is what playoff hockey is all about, so sit back and enjoy. Here are a few Bruins-Canes links to pass the time:
*** Alan Muir of Sports Illustrated says that the Canes' work ethic was the difference on Sunday night.
*** Ken Campbell of The Hockey News says that the Hurricanes proved that Zdeno Chara is mortal after all.
*** Puck Daddy says that Carolina's goal that didn't count proves that the "video review system is inferior and ultimately flawed.''
*** Luke Decock of the Raleigh News & Observer says that the Canes rediscovered their game and knocked the perhaps-overconfident Bruins down a peg.
*** TSN's panel of hockey experts -- Peter Laviolette, Tom Renny and Bob McKenzie -- agree that the Bruins and Red Wings looked beatable for the first time in these playoffs.
*** Finally, this isn't Bruins-Canes related, but here's video of a younger Milan Lucic working over an opponent (no, it's not Mike Komisarek) in a boxing ring. Looch is wearing the blue trunks. His opponent is the one with the bloody nose.
