Fri, 16 May 2008 02:17:53 PDT

The Bruins have to be happy with much of what they were able to accomplish this past season, returning to the playoffs after a two-year absence and coming back from a 3-1 game deficit to force a Game 7 with Montreal. But that can't hide the fact there's work to be done.

The Penguins, who...

Claude Julien returned the Boston Bruins to respectability. His next task: getting them past the first round of the playoffs. Boston came very close, forcing the top-seeded Canadiens to a seventh game before losing 5-0 in front of a raucous Montreal crowd. That may provide little consolation to members of a franchise that hasn't won the Stanley Cup since 1972.
