As the NHL’s Eastern Conference Final switches sites, the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins are percolating polar memories of the last time they each faced the Philadelphia Flyers in a Stanley Cup playoff series.
Just as they had in the 2011 conference semifinals versus Philadelphia, the Bruins are coming home from Pennsylvania with a 2-0 edge. Just like they did against the Flyers in the opening round last spring, the Penguins are about to venture onto enemy property with a multi-game deficit staring them in the face.
