BOSTON (AP) -- Hockey fans are celebrating the Boston Bruins entry into the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in more than two decades.... The Bruins played a perfect game, plain and simple. They knew that they had to stay out of the penalty box...and they did...they actually didnt commit one penalty. Not one. Tim Thomas knew that he had to be flawless in order to give his team a chance...and he was...literally. I honestly never thought I would utter these words: the Boston Bruins are going to the Stanley Cup Finals! The Boston Bruins will face the Vancouver Canucks in this year's Stanley Cup final after clinching a 4-3 NHL Eastern Conference series win over Tampa Bay Lightning. Nathan Horton scored the game's only goal with 7:33 to play, sending the Boston Bruins into the Stanley Cup finals with a 1-0 victory over the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night. BOSTON - Nathan Horton scored with 7 minutes, 33 seconds left in Game 7, sending the Boston Bruins to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in more than two decades with a 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night. BOSTON - Flyers coach Peter Laviolette played the legacy card yesterday. It was probably the best he could do, given the truly lousy hand he currently holds. He talked about being down by 0-3 in another playoff series to the Bruins, and about just worrying about winning one game, and about how, after a dismal Game 3, his team is "capable of giving more than we gave." Martin St. Louis and Teddy Purcell each scored twice, resilient goalie Dwayne Roloson weathered a hat trick by Boston's David Krejci, and the Tampa Bay Lightning stayed alive in the Eastern Conference finals with a 5-4 win over the Boston Bruins in Game 6 on Wednesday night. BOSTON - Nathan Horton scored with 7:33 left in Game 7, sending the Boston Bruins to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in more than two decades with a 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night. Goalie Tim Thomas stopped every shot and gave the Bruins a chance at the prize they haven't won since 1972 - the Stanley Cup. Boston beat Tampa Bay 1-0 on Friday night on Nathan Horton's goal with 7:33 left in the... BOSTON -- Nathan Horton scored with 7:33 left in Game 7, sending the Boston Bruins to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in more than two decades with a 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night. The right wing on Boston's top ... Iron worker Peter Galvin expected a typical lunch Monday when he walked into the Eire Pub in Dorchester, a deeply Irish neighborhood of Boston, and settled into the familiar place decorated in Irish flags and Boston Bruins... Tim Thomas and Dwayne Roloson matched each other save for save for more than 50 minutes in the decisive seventh game of the Eastern Conference finals. > Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Dwayne Roloson, right, congratulates Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas after the Bruins beat the Lightning 1-0 in Game 7 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup playoffs Eastern Conference final series, Friday, May 27, 2011, in Boston. > Boston Bruins right wing Nathan Horton scores his goal against the Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Dwayne Roloson (35) and Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Mattias Ohlund (5), of Sweden, during the third period in Game 7 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup playoffs Eastern Conference final series in Boston, Friday, May 27, 2011. > Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Dwayne Roloson (35) stops a shot by Boston Bruins left wing Mark Recchi (28) during the second period in Game 7 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup playoffs Eastern Conference final series, Friday, May 27, 2011, in Boston. BOSTON - There were 5 minutes and 49 seconds remaining in the second period last night and the noise in TD Garden was as deafening as it had been since the first 2 minutes. The Bruins had just tacked on a third goal, but here was Nikolay Zherdev alone behind the Bruins' net, puck on stick, and here came Andrej Meszaros unchecked down the slot, the pass going tape to tape.
