New York. There will be a thriller for Game 7 in Raleigh on Saturday.
As usual, the host team won the sixth meeting between Boston and Carolina.
It would be fun to get there and be underdog,” Bruins’ Swedish defender Humpus Lindholm told Sportbladet after the 5-2 win.
This was exactly the same throughout the series of matches.
When Carolina played at home in the PNC Arena, they won a lot and when Boston Playing at home at TD Garden, they won just as much – and tonight’s sixth round, in Boston, followed the same scenario.
Bruins immediately took the lead and controlled most of the match, winning 5-2.
– I think it was a little difficult but we played well and of course it was good to be able to play this match, he says Humpus Lindholm.
And so he returned last night after missing three matches due to the injury he suffered in connection with the difficult intervention made by Andrei Svichnikov in the second meeting.
– I’ve still learned something, so I have decently avoided this intervention, I’ve had neck pain mostly, and now I’m feeling good again, this 28-year-old from Skåne continues.
– Above all, it was good to get back on the ice, there is no one more convenient than me to sit next to me and watch. I get nervous when I was three, haha. It would be almost better if I stayed at home.
It’s good then that Hampus is playing in Game 7 in North Carolina Saturday, because it’s probably going to be an exciting movie.
Bruins just need to know how to win on the ice away…
– I think it will be interesting to get there, they are the candidates and put pressure on them. It suits me being underdog and if we can play like tonight we have a good chance.
