The Boston Bruins are near the end of their 11-day layoff leading up to Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. In the midst of their near two-week break, they found out who they’ll face.
It’s a team that David Backes is quite familiar with.
The St. Louis Blues, a few days removed from their Western Conference Final victory over the San Jose Sharks, will face a six-day layoff between their Game 6 clincher and Game 1 of the Cup Final. This gave us folks in the media plenty of time to ask Backes about facing his former team in the Stanley Cup Final.
