Boston Bruins Look To Sweep Philadelphia
Author: Eric Pratt | 
The beat up Bruins look to close out the series over the Flyers tonight. With the loss of Marco Sturm, David Krecji and Adam McQuaid, the B's will need call ups to help them close it out.
Here's the lines that were out at this mornings practice (courtesy of Fluto Shinzawa @boston.com)
Daniel Paille / Patrice Bergeron / Mark Recchi
Milan Lucic / Marc Savard / Miroslav Satan
Blake Wheeler / Vladimir Sobotka / Michael Ryder
Steve Begin / Trent Whitfield / Brad Marchand
Zdeno Chara / Johnny Boychuk
Matt Hunwick / Dennis Wideman
Mark Stuart / Andrew Ference
Tuukka Rask
Shawn Thornton was not on the ice but Coach Claude says he will play in tonight's game. Which will most likely send Marchand to the press box. Whitfield has more experience. Mark Stuart has been medically cleared and looks to make his post season debut. Which is good we need his crazy ass in the line up.
The Flyers are looking for a bump in their lineup with the possible return of Simon Gagne. He is a game time decision.
Looking at Bruins lineup they are going to have to really dig to fill the loss of Krecji. He was our biggest puck possession forward. His ability to take the puck into the zone and get it down low is something the Bruins will need to fill. Dump and chase simply hasn't worked against the flyers, especially on the power play.
Let's hope Sobotka can regain his form from the Buffalo series and hit everything that moves. His play this series has dropped off from the moment he went crashing into the post. I'm sure he's probably banged up like the rest of this team.
Time to rally around Tuukka Time and Miro the Hero for hopefully one more game then some rest for these guys. Then we can go back to rooting for Montreal. I never thought the day would come when I would be rooting for Montreal in 2 series in the playoffs. I feel nauseous just typing that.
Go Bruins! Game time 7pm on Versus.
