It’s a huge help, obviously. We’ve gotten better, a lot better, as the season has gone on. They’re not trying to play goalie, they’re just trying to be in the lane. All the other guys are taking care of their ice, keeping their head up, looking to guys behind them or in front of them. Dennis, for example, today, he blocked a lot of shots. Our D did a tremendous job during the playoffs doing that. I like that, as long as they block it and don’t let it go through, we’ll be all set.
Dennis Seidenberg (seated next to him in the Player of the Game jacket during this interview), led with six blocked shots in the win, and has blocked 20 shots in the three games so far this series.
Overall, Johnny Boychuk’s 57 blocked shots lead the postseason. Seidenberg comes in next with 49, and Zdeno Chara is fourth with 38.

Bruins Excited for Home Crowd
BOSTON, MA - There’s no place like home.
“Madison on Madison” lived up to the hype at the United Center in Chicago, with a rousing Blackhawks’ fanbase that cheered their way through a powerful national anthem and kept up the tempo throughout both Games One and Two.
But, there’s nothing better than a home game at TD Garden for the men in the spoked-B, playing in front of the Boston faithful. As the series shifts back to the Hub for Games Three and Four with each team having won one game apiece, the Bruins are looking forward to using their home-ice advantage.
“Well, there’s no doubt you’re a lot happier at home than you are on the road, right?” said Bruins Head Coach Claude Julien, following the team’s pregame skate at TD Garden prior to Game Three.

Pregame Notebook: Paille-Kelly-Seguin Line Stays Together - 2013 Boston Bruins Playoffs
BOSTON, MA - The Bruins held their pregame skate at TD Garden on Monday morning prior to Game 3, as the series shifts to home ice in Boston, tied at one game apiece.
It’s now a best-of-five series, after a torrid start with two overtime games. It also marks the first time a Stanley Cup Final series is tied at 1-1 after the first two games since 2004 (Tampa Bay versus Calgary).
During the skate, Coach’s “hunch” line of Daniel Paille, Chris Kelly and Tyler Seguin stayed intact. The trio scored the only Bruins’ goals in the 2-1 overtime win Saturday night, and accounted for five points (two goals, three assists). The combination of Kelly’s strong, reliable presence at center, flanked by the speed of the two wingers (arguably the fastest on the team along with Rich Peverley).
The Bruins ‘top six’ should stay the same, with the powerhouse Milan Lucic-David Krejci-Nathan Horton line providing force and Patrice Bergeron’s line with Brad Marchand and Jaromir Jagr continuing their strong cycle game and board-work.
