They are tremendous second-effort guys, and they battle hard. They’re a hell of a team and it seems as though they’ve put it together.” Bruins coach Jim Flack said “we were … given up [for] dead at Christmas. People in our own camp thought we were dead, but I’ll be honest. I thought it was going to be a long hard road to make it to the final four, and
even the playoffs.”
