The Bruins practiced at Ristuccia Arena on Sunday, as they prepare for their Game 5 tilt at TD Garden on Monday night where they will have a second chance to close out the Flyers.
Everyone from the Bruins' lineup in Game 4 was present and the lines remained the same. The B's claim they have moved on from Friday's loss and that the pressure is still on the Flyers to stay alive with the B’s leading the series 3-1.
"We’re going to be hungry here," Marc Savard said. "We’ve got our home
crowd that’s been excellent. We’ve just got to come out the same way
we’ve played at home and try to create a lead and go from there."
As for the claims that the Bruins are feeling the heat as they get their second chance to close out the Flyers, Johnny Boychuk thinks that’s a bunch of malarkey.
"They have everything to lose. They’ve got their whole season to lose," said the rear guard. "So both teams have pressure on them. It’s not like all the pressure is on us. I don’t see why all the pressure would be on us when we’re the ones up three games to one."
Defenseman Dennis Seidenberg, who skated with trainer Johnny Whitesides on Saturday, did so again following the team practice. Seidenberg told NESN.com that he is still at least 3-4 weeks away from returning.
“Three is what I want obviously but four is more likely,” he said.
Also not present was fellow D-man Adam McQuaid, who suffered a lower body injury in Game 3.
