Basically, what the headline says. This is not groundbreaking new territory for the Bruins. It's a different team in some respects, yes; there's no Mark Recchi, no Michael Ryder. But in their stead, Brian Rolston and Benoit Pouliot have filled in nicely this series, to be sure.

Tonight, Tim Thomas needs to put on a show of epic proportions. Tonight, the first line of Milan Lucic, David Krejci, and Tyler Seguin need to STEAL that show. Doubly so because of Patrice Bergeron - the solid center is injured, and despite still being great with his usual two-way game on Sunday, it'd be awesome if his team could rally around him and prevent the need for him to try to bail the team out.

Seven and a half hours, people. Gird your loins, because it's about to get real.

After the jump, some stuff on the Devils, the Sharks, and the Canucks...and a neat profile on language in the Bruins' dressing room...
