T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes.

I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Sunday. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their games lately but they finally lost their 1st game of this series in Boston in the 3rd game, still keeping their 2-1 lead over them. The Hurricanes still looked good in that game and managed to keep it close near the end, even opening up the scoring in that game too. The Bruins were bound to get a win at home since they are not a bad team but I still think the Hurricanes are the better team here and after playing their 1st game of the series in Boston now, I expect them to make the proper adjustments and bounce back in this game with a win to take a 3-1 series lead. The Hurricanes completely dominated the Bruins in their 2 home games, winning 5-1 and 5-2 in those games. The Hurricanes also dominated the Bruins during the regular season with a 3-0 record against them and 2 of those wins were in Boston too. Not only did they win all of their games against them, but they won 3-0 on home ice, and they won 6-0 and 7-1 in their 2 road games in Boston. The Bruins have struggled with the Hurricanes all year and now that they have gotten their win on home ice in the series, I expect to see the Hurricanes close them out. The Hurricanes are a faster team and they can be just as physical as the Bruins when they want to be. I expect a more physical effort from them here and I think they will get the job done so they can close out the series in their next game on home ice. I like the Hurricanes to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Hurricanes.
