Preview
The Boston Bruins regained home-ice disadvantage in the NHL playoffs.
That's right, disadvantage.
The home team has lost all four games in the series with the Montreal Canadiens, so the Bruins can't rely on their seventh player -- the black-and-gold clad crowd -- in Saturday night's fifth game with the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series tied at 2.
"We've just got to keep getting better and not worry about where we're playing," coach Claude Julien said Friday, "but how we're playing."
The raucous fans at the Bell Centre couldn't shake the Bruins focus when they overcame deficits of 1-0, 3-1 and 4-3 to even the series with a 5-4 overtime win on Thursday night. They sent those partisans home disappointed, knowing the Canadiens wasted a chance to take command of the series.
Back home, the Bruins want their fans to savor a win -- even if it's not filled with end-to-end rushes and highlight-reel goals.
