Boston Bruins: Stanley Cup Final opponent set in stone
It’s now set in stone, following the conclusion of the Western Conference final series, it’s been confirmed that the Stanley Cup Final will be a rematch of 1970; the Boston Bruins will face-off against the St. Louis Blues.
The St. Louis Blues had to go to six games to defeat a battered and bruised San Jose Sharks line-up, ending the potential for ‘Jumbo’ Joe Thornton to encounter the team that drafted him, in a Stanley Cup Final. Their path was certainly a little harder than the four-game sweep that the Boston Bruins pulled off in the Eastern Conference final over the Carolina Hurricanes.
