3. Another fantastic rookie

The Boston Bruins have gotten some production from some unlikely sources this season. That is why this team is so special.

One unlikely star has been Connor Clifton. He wasn’t expected to even be with the Bruins, but injuries forced him to be called up and now he is scoring goals in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Clifton was once again great on Monday night kicking off the Bruins comeback. He rushed the net and put home a Sean Kuraly pass to give the Bruins their 1st goal of the game. It was a beauty.

Hopefully the Boston Bruins will perform better in Game 2. Even though they were able to get the win they looked rusty at times. Hopefully, in Game 2 we will see a much more complete effort.

The Boston Bruins are just 3 wins away from lifting the Stanley Cup. Man, being a Boston sports fan is awesome.
