Putting the puck past Henrik Lundqvist is a huge challenge for the Bruins. Of course, they have to get it to him first and that's a tough task against the Rangers.
This series is going to be won in the corners and the dirty areas of the ice. It will be a grind-it-out kind of series that will have John Tortorella's men licking their chops.
There is one key explanation, above all others, for why the Rangers are heading to the Eastern Conference semifinals. "Henrik Lundqvist," Capitals forward Troy Brouwer said. "Plain and simple."

Nobody collapses in the postseason quite like the Capitals. 1985. 1987. 1992. 1995. 1996. 2003. 2009. 2010. All series that Washington led either 2-0 or 3-1 — and went on to lose.
Let's face it, the Rangers have a lot of positives going for them right now. And they're playing the sort of gritty hockey typical of a John Tortorella-coached team.
If the Blueshirts are going to come all the way back and knock out Washington, they need to figure out how to transport their Madison Square Garden offense to the nation's capital.
