The Boston Bruins are firing on all cylinders in the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals against the previously favored Chicago Blackhawks. Bottom line: Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask is playing lights out in front of the goal.

Compared to how the Blackhawks look in this series, they were fortunate to get the win in Game 1. Though Blackhawks goaltenders Corey Crawford is playing great, he'll need to play near perfect to compete with Rask and the surging Bruins.

The Blackhawks need to stop their tic-tac passing in front of the blue line. The Bruins are turning the puck over on them. Even on the power plays, where they have excellent shorthanded chances, the Bruins are overpowering them. If they continue with the fancy plays, they'll get a highlight reel goal on ESPN every once in a while, but will certainly not win the series against the Bruins.

The Blackhawks are also losing face offs 40-16. That's an extra possession each time for the Bruins. It was evident in the series against the Penguins, the Bruins are dominating the dot and winning their draws. The bruins centers are playing lights out.

Watch Game 5 of the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals between the Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins, tonight at 8:05 PM ET on NBCSN.
