Bruins Week Ahead: May 18-24

STAT OF THE WEEK: The Bruins have recorded a 34.0% power play proficiency through the first three rounds of the 2019 playoffs. That is the second-best power play percentage of any team who has advanced through three post-season rounds in NHL history (1980-81 NY Islanders, 37.8% in 18 games played).
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "I've thought about this moment for a long time, of playing for that ultimate prize you dream of when you're a kid. Now it's reality. It's us against one other team, and one of us is going home with that Stanley Cup." - David Backes following the team's Eastern Conference Final sweep.
TWEET OF THE WEEK (WEEK 37): @AmalieBenjamin (Amalie Benjamin, NHL.com): "This season started in China. It will end in the Stanley Cup Final. It's been a long one, and it's not over yet. One more best-of-7 to go."
HONORABLE MENTION: @_TyAnderson (Ty Anderson, 98.5 The Sports Hub): "Stormy tried fist bumping me. I denied that. Set the tone early.
