The Boston Bruins are going to their first Stanley Cup Finals since 1990 after beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 1-0 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals Friday night.
The Vancouver Canucks stand in the Bruins way in their quest to win the team's first Stanley Cup since 1972. The Canucks have been resting for a few days after beating the San Jose Sharks in a quick five game victory in the West Finals.
Vancouver has never won a Stanley Cup, and has not been to the finals since 1994 when they were defeated by the New York Rangers in seven games.
These two teams are evenly matched in most facets of the game and played one game against each other in the regular season, a 3-1 Bruins win in February.
This year's Cup Finals is sure to be a great series. Let's look at six reasons the Bruins will defeat the Canucks and return Lord Stanley's Cup to Boston for the first time in nearly 40 years.
