Stanley Cup Final, Pregame 6 Report


Welcome to Game 6 from TD Garden in Boston, where the Bruins trail the Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Final, three games to two. The Bruins will be trying to do to Chicago what they did to the Vancouver Canucks two years ago ... win Game 6 at home and Game 7 on the road to win the Cup.

Chicago will be trying to do to Boston what it did to Philadelphia three years ago ... win Game 6 on the road to clinch the Cup.

Since we are in a clinching situation tonight, the Bruins are wearing Black Set 2 Final. The five Bruins who have worn two jerseys in games throughout the series, will start in Black Set 2 Final and switch into Black Set 1 Final. The five are Patrice Bergeron (in the lineup despite suffering an undisclosed injury in Game 5 that sidelined him for most of the final two periods), Johnny Boychuk, Zdeno Chara, Nathan Horton, and Dennis Seidenberg.

From the pregame warmup: Because of Bergeron's injury, 23 Bruins took warmup. Besides the regular 20 players in the lineup, defenseman Matt Bartkowski and forwards Jordan Caron and Jay Pandolfo took warmup and did not play. Center Carl Soderberg, who took warmup in Games 1 through 4 before being inserted in the lineup in Game 5 for Kaspars Daugavins, was in the lineup last night. Daugavins did not take warmup.

If the Bruins win, they will be wearing White Set 2 Final in Game 7 at Chicago on Wednesday.
