Dallas Stars Daily Links: Bruins Rout Penguins in Game Two Massacre

The immovable object is indeed hampering the unstoppable force in the Eastern Conference Finals. Much was written about the depth and firepower of the Pittsburgh Penguins offense, as well as the shaky-at-best defense and goaltending. The latter has been much more of a contributing factor than the former, as the Bruins have coasted to a 2-0 lead over the favored Penguins.

Tomas Vokoun was chased from the nets after giving up 3 goals in the first period, and was replaced by Marc-Andre Fleury, who responded by giving up 3 of his own. Jaromir Jagr finally got on the score sheet with two assists, and was a plus-3, in game that finished as a 6-1 blowout.

The Bruins aren't getting overly confident just yet, however. "It doesn't matter what the series is at right now," said Brad Marchand. "If they get the next one, they're right back in it. The next one is the one that's most important." The two teams will now fly to Boston for game three of the series. [TSN.ca]

The Montreal Canadiens have parted ways with their goaltending coach, Pierre Groulx, after four years of tutoring Carey Price. "Pierre is a coach with a strong work ethic, a true professional who largely contributed to the development of our goaltenders. Unfortunately, we have to make the difficult decision today not to renew his contract with the team. I want to wish Pierre the best of luck with the pursuit of his career," said GM Marc Bergevin, who is in the process of putting his stamp on the franchise. [Faceoff.com]
