Bruins-Hurricane Game 4 Preview

Huge game for the Bruins tonight. As we get ready for the drop of the puck, a few things come to mind:

1) Forecheck is huge in hockey, get in on the defensemen, take the body, and force turnovers. Need more of that tonight.

2)No shot on net is a bad one. Ala Mark Recchi with a goal off the shin pad in Game 3, we need more rubber on net tonight.

3)First pass on a break out is the most critical. Tape to tape passes, not in someones feet.

4)Power Play set up. Throughout the first three games Carolina has pressured the d-to-d passes along the blue line, we need to get the puck deep, in the corners. Let the forwards work the down low triangle, not up at the blue line.

Have a terrific Friday night everyone. Tick Tock, game four is just around the corner......

Go Bruins
