I honestly don't know what to expect. It seems the Bruins are a completely different team on the road than they are at home. Seeing how it's Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, I'd like to think that they won't come out flat, but it's anyone's guess at this point. One thing that is for certain though is that Luongo is going to have a shit-ton of pressure on him, more than he's ever had in his career up to this point. It's paramount for the Bruins to drive hard to the net early and often. Don't allow him to get comfortable in the crease, not even for a second.
They need to bring the physicality as well. As obvious as that would seem, the last couple of games in Vancouver have found the Bruins playing a much more reactive style of hockey, allowing the Canucks to win puck battles down low and establish themselves physically on the ice. So apparently they need to be reminded: That's a no-go, the Sedin sisters need to be on their asses all night and Chara and Co. need to be dishing out the pain on a constant basis. If they start finishing their checks from the opening drop of the puck and never let up the Canucks will, I repeat, will roll over by the third-period.
Oh, and stop letting those ******* just stand in front of the net. For everytime that I see Burrows or whomever just standing there, I'm going to hurt someone. You shouldn't have to reminded of this shit, you're professional hockey players for Christ's sake.
