Boston sports fanatics have their heads up high and are confident the Bruins will snag another championship for the Hub as they predict the B's will win the Stanley Cup in a sweep.
Fans are still gushing over the team's 4-0 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes, which allowed them to advance to the final.
"Dude, the intensity they came out with was unreal," one fan said "Like I said, I was nervous. A lot of down time."
The Bruins are leading the Stanley Cup Final against the St. Louis Blues 1-0 after Monday night's win. Prior to that game, the team hadn't played for 11 days. The bears weren’t hibernating, however.
"You know, it’s an 11-day lay off. What do you expect from the team, coming into the series after 11 days off ? Sluggish atmosphere. Crowd was dead, then the Bruins got that first goal and it was like right back into it," another B fan said.
They're back like they never left. Fans are drawing Bobby Orr comparisons.
"That huge hit by Krug? Loved it."
