Jeff Jacobs: Bruins' Game 3 win as easy as Paille

Boston Herald — BOSTON - The T-shirt in support of one of Boston's great role players is as clever as it is profane."Yippee Paille!"There's another word following Paille, of course, but this is a family newspaper and you'll either need to locate one of those T-shirts being worn around TD Garden or find an old clip of Bruce Willis in his "Die Hard" movies to fill in the blanks. It is a word that Joel Quenneville and many of his Chicago Blackhawks undoubtedly feel like screaming Tuesday.

Bruins refrain: Kill ’em all

Boston Herald — The accepted wisdom of the NHL has long held that power-play goals are critically important for any team that hopes to win a Stanley Cup.Over the past three years, the Bruins, Los Angeles Kings and Chicago Blackhawks have made credible cases that what is actually required, more than a highly productive power play, is great penalty killing. The B’s penalty kill has been remarkable this spring and is one of the main reasons the team takes the ice at the Garden tonight for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals two wins away from its second championship in three seasons.

B's keep riding Paille's surge

Boston Bruins Blog | ESPN Boston — BOSTON -- A major reason the Boston Bruins are two wins away from their second Stanley Cup in three seasons is the play of forward Daniel Paille, who has emerged as an unsung hero while helping to form a successful third line with Tyler Seguin and Chris Kelly. Paille scored his second consecutive game-winning goal -- and third of the playoffs -- in the Bruins' 2-0 Game 3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. He's also helping Seguin and Kelly find their games.

On fifth NHL team, Seidenberg finds home in Boston

Bruins Blog | Providence Journal — By Mark DivverBOSTON -- Thirty-one-year-old Dennis Seidenberg played for Philadelphia, Phoenix, Carolina and Florida before finding a home in Boston. Julien credits Boston's pro scouts for seeing something in Seidenberg, who has been a monster on the Bruins' blueline, that other teams missed. "I think our guys that scouted him, that's upper management, had noticed one thing: that he always played well in big games, had the great stats. I don't talk about offensive stats, but stats as far as being dependable, being at his best. The bigger the games were, the better he became. ...
