The Boston Bruins are returning to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2013 after defeating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-0 to complete the Eastern Conference Finals sweep Thursday night at PNC Arena...

Vince Dunn and Robert Bortuzzo scored second-period goals that helped the St. Louis Blues overcome another big game from San Jose’s Logan Couture.

Home-ice advantage can be important in the NHL playoffs. So far in the conference finals round, that has especially been the case...

I*'m actually surprised by the number of people that thought that Vegas would sweep the Panthers. The Panthers were down 3-1 to the Bruins and won. They were down in the last seconds in Game Seven against the Bruins and won. Came back twice vs the Hurricanes. They don't go away.

Panthers having a hard time now that the referees are calling the penalties that they didn't call vs the Bruins, Leafs, and Hurricanes #VGKvsFLA

Bobrovsky stole games in the Bruin series, stole games in Leafs series, stole games in Hurricane series...Seems as though Vegas has solved the Bob puzzle...FLA really needs Bobrovsky to be elite as he was vs Bruins, Leafs & Hurricanes to knock off the Golden Knights

I still believe Florida Panthers win the Stanley Cup. When you beat Bruins, who were the best team in hockey and dominated MapleLeafs/ hurricanes. The confidence level is through the roof. I'll be surprised Golden Knights win 2 games vs. Florida.... #StanleyCup

#TimeToHunt won 11 of past 12 . Beat No 1 (#Bruins), No 2 (#Hurricanes) & No 4 (#LeafsForever) East seeds. Ya they got breaks & some bounces. But legitimately earned way into #StanleyCupFinal. Bobrovsky amazing. Tkachuk 3 gm winners vs Car: 2 in OT; scored with 5 secs left 2nite

After being down 3-1 in the First Round No. 8 seed Panthers are: 3-0 vs Boston Bruins 4-1 vs Toronto Maple Leafs 4-0 vs Carolina Hurricanes https://t.co/CtRT5tw4sA
