Power Plays Will Be Crucial In Stanley Cup Finals
CHICAGO (AP) When it comes to power plays in the Stanley Cup finals, the Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins might just prefer to keep going with everyone on the ice.
The last two teams in the NHL playoffs have been lousy with the man advantage and terrific at killing penalties during the postseason.
When the Blackhawks are forced to play a man down, Michael Frolik and Marcus Kruger are so persistent it almost resembles an even-strength situation. And the Bruins have hulking defenseman Zdeno Chara and goalie Tuukka Rask, who is swallowing everything at the net these days.
