Morning Mashup: Bruins Look To Pull Even

Game two of the Eastern Conference finals gets underway tonight, with Boston trying avenge their 5-2 loss on Saturday. They are hoping Patrice Bergeron returns from a concussion to provide some much needed face-off prowess and ability to shutdown Tampa’s skilled forwards. With a two-day layoff between games one and two, expect a high octane, physical brand of hockey.

Feel free to share your predictions for the game down below in the comment box. Now onto your links.

    @ Burtonboy:
    A constant supply of new blood sure seems to be a big part of Burkes MO. Thats how he want to build the Leafs, lots of young guns pushing for spots on the big team. When they are ready, the Leaf who’s spot they are going to take gets traded for more players/prospects/picks. ala the Aulie-Beauch situation.

    I wonder if Leafs would do an offer sheet for Drew Doughty, a future Norris trophy winner.
    Also, some UFA forwards available that are aged 27-28, are Ville Leino, Jossi Jokinen, Sean Bergenheim and Radin Vrbata.

    I’d be suprised if Burke didn’t have his eyes on Leino
