o take a series after trailing three-games-to-none. After getting payback for that bit of sordid postseason history with a sweep against the Flyers this spring, Boston will now face a team it has never battled before in the playoffs -- the Tampa Bay Lightning -- for the right to represent the East in the Stanley Cup Finals. Boston washed away the bad taste from last spring's playoff exit by simply dominating Philly in the conference semis this time around, sweeping the Flyers in four games and

Boucher and Boudreau: A Tale of Two Coaches Thu May  5 14:04:42 2011 EST
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - In just one season Guy Boucher and his Tampa Bay Lightning have accomplished something that has eluded Bruce Boudreau and the Washington Capitals for years. The Lightning's rise under Boucher -- the franchise's rookie head coach -- and first-year general manager Steve Yzerman has been meteoric. After sweeping the Capitals in four games to reach the Eastern Conference finals, it's likely that the climb is also still in the early stages. On the other hand, the
