There's a Hurricane Comin' Through



The Bruins have learned their second round opponent, and it is the Carolina Hurricanes, by virtue of their win over the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers' loss to the Washington Capitals.

Not enough time to write a preview (final tomorrow morning), but the B's were 4-0 against the 'Canes this season. However, the 'Canes tore it up down the stretch, and entered the playoffs as one of the NHL's hottest teams, mainly because of the return of Erik Cole and the rejuvenation of goalie Cam Ward.

Should be a good one, it's about time the Bruins hit the ice again. The Boston Globe is citing a TSN report that games 1 and 2 will be Friday and Sunday nights at the Garden. If that's right, the Bruins will have had eight full days away from game action in between playoff matches, an almost unheard of respite during NHL's dash to the Cup.

Go B's.
