Those pesky, battling, deep and teamwork-oriented Boston Bruins finished off the sweep of the Pittsburgh Penguins, taking Game 4 1-0.  And now it is on to the Stanley Cup Finals.These Bruins deserved it.  They worked harder.  They played harder.  They won the battles.  They scored the big goals.  Their goaltending was better.  The coaching was better and the special teams were better.

Whoever wins in the West, Blackhawks or Kings, will have trouble with Boston, because the Bruins make it so uncomfortable to play them, no matter the style.

And so the Bruins march on, four wins away from a Stanley Cup title.  Four wins away from a second Cup in three years.

And no team in the East deserves it more.
